Seattle Turkish Festival

The Seattle Turkish Film Festival returns in 2020 with four feature films — including personal tales of forbidden love affairs in Love, Spells and All That (Aşk, Büyü, vs.) and domestic conflict in Chronology (Kronoloji). Light is cast upon larger Turkish society in Queen Lear (Kraliçe Lear), which follows a handful of peasant women in southern Turkey who take their theater group on the road, and Ovacik, which portrays the heartfelt community-building efforts of a mayor in a small Kurdish-Alevi town. A robust short film program consisting of ten films includes three Grand Jury favorites and, with its nearly three-hour runtime, offers a varied and expansive view of the region. Most screenings will be followed by a pre-recorded Q&A with filmmakers.
