The Vilnius International Film Festival, Lithuania (covered on the current Festivals and Awards page)

Malatya Film Festival, Turkey

November 2010

One of the newest international film festivals is located at an ancient and modern strategic crossroads. The film festival was and is an attempt to break out of the city's image as an agricultural backwater. Home of a museum diplaying some of the world's oldest weapons, Malatya is, largely unwillingly, once again a site of potential and actual conflict.

This section is under construction and will be augmented.
