Overview
The Flying Broom International Women's Film Festival is an annual Ankara-based festival founded in the late 1990s by the Flying Broom women’s organization. It is notable as Turkey’s first women’s film festival and for its feminist, rights-based mission: making women filmmakers’ work more visible, centering women’s stories, and creating discussion around gender equality in cinema. It showcases national and international fiction, documentary, short, feature, and often animation films by women filmmakers, and is recognized in the festival circuit for its long-running international profile and FIPRESCI-linked prestige.
