About
It’s the shorter adaptation of the International Teen Shorts Film Festival which will be held with the participation of young moviemakers from al over the world. OK, but what itsFF really means? What for International Teen Shorts Film Festival works? Is Internatiional Teen Shorts Film Festival something which may even work? You’ve got it! Right! First of all, itsFF relieves everyone, from the participant to the organizator, of pronouncing “International Teen Shor....” thousand and thousand times, and thus it avoids them of the ultimate danger of being formal and serious. Because as the name implies, Teen Shorts is an organization which demonstrates what a young creative brain can do!
In addition to this, it gets the young people from all over the world together and provides them the opportunity to share their experiences and their different cultures that they brought through their luggages, via new friendships that they built in Istanbul. Furthermore, it creates a platform where certain critics, directors and musicians from different countries meet and arrange workshops and seminars in order to improve the productivity of young brains under the light of their professional backgrounds. In brief, itsFF tries its best just to see young people passionately attached to the cinema.
