All these years, novels and movies have always covered stories in which the main characters from the West travel to India where it becomes a journey of self-discovery. These characters are introduced to a very meaningful and spiritual world very different from the Western world, and through this journey their souls undergo changes. “BARE FOOT ON CAMPUS” tries to adopt a different perspective while turning this pattern of story-telling and narrative style upside down. In our story the main characters do not go to India, but India comes to them … An Indian girl named SHIVA comes to a university in Turkey as an exchange student and starts changing the lives of the students around her. And we follow the whole story through the eyes of our main character, a student named DENİZ. The story reaches its climax when the shocking secret of Shiva is revealed towards the end. The story is a well-balanced mixture of comedy and tragedy and it unfolds smoothly keeping the viewers in constant wonder what’s going to happen next.
The first and only festival with the topic multi-cultural society. The program is open to cinemas from Germany and Turkey and those, who want to contribute with their various aesthetic perspectives to our goal of an inter cultural society in Germany.

This tried and true age-old custom is known as "Töre" in Turkey but just plain "murder" in most civilized countries. Fortunately this primitive blood-curdli...
