Overview
The International Changing Perspectives Short Film Festival is an Istanbul-based short film festival organized by Katadrom Arts, Culture and Social Politics Association. It is notable for its 'take away' format, beginning with a main program in Istanbul and then traveling to other cities and countries through the year, while centering films and discussions on cultural exchange, identity, borders, migration, and related social themes.
