I have attended the “Two Film One Book Event” which was organized by the Maltepe Nazım Hikmet Cultural Center on Sunday, 17 May 2015. After signing my book Lâmia-CONSANGUINITY my short documentaries (Coastlanders 8 to 8 and the Abandoned) were screened.
Şarköy’ün Geleceği Platformu’nun davetiyle katıldığım, Namık Kemal Üniversitesi Şarköy Meslek Yüksek Okulu Konferans Salonu’nda, 5 Mayıs Salı günü düzenlenen etkinlik benim için çok özel ve heyecan vericiydi.
Kısa belgesellerim 8’den 8’e SAHİLDEKİLER ve Metruk’un gösteriminin ardından filmlerimle ilgili soruları cevapladım ve kısa film üzerine konuştuk.

Metruk achieved for being the most popular short film among the all others within just 5 days. It is also available on MiShorts platform for buying & downloading.

Now you can watch & download Metruk by joining the MiShorts as using “join mishorts” button.
