Overview

The Ankara International Wildlife Documentary Film Festival is Türkiye’s first wildlife documentary festival, founded to draw attention to Anatolia’s wildlife, support nature conservation, and encourage the growth of wildlife documentary filmmaking. It showcases short and feature-length wildlife documentaries from Türkiye and around the world, alongside screenings, talks, workshops, and industry events that foster collaboration and co-productions. Its significance in the festival circuit lies in its niche focus and its role as a new international platform for wildlife documentary filmmakers, with strong participation from multiple countries in its inaugural edition.
