so, what now?
At certain times in our lives, we experience moments where we ask, 'so, what now?'
Disasters, wars, and economic depressions...
They deeply affect everyone’s life from birth, regardless of age—child, youth, or elderly alike.
People are deprived of their most basic vital needs such as nutrition, shelter, health, education, and clothing...
Having enabled 5.5 million children and youth across Turkey’s 81 provinces to experience the magic of cinema to date, Sinemasal is now embarking on an extraordinary journey with three new projects. With the slogan 'IMPACT of ART,' it aims to use the transformative power of art to generate solutions for social and global issues, raise awareness, and create an impact in these areas.
In the inaugural year of the Cappadocia Biennial, under the theme BIRTH, we are seeking accessible, economic, and sustainable solutions for basic vital needs. We aim to bring visibility to the solution proposals put forth by artists through their works via the biennial.
With Dream Chasers, we are coming to complete unfinished dreams...
With the Anatolia Film Festival, we bring to the silver screen films from all around the world, produced not just to be watched, but to be noticed, heard, and discussed.
Through this tripartite structure —the Biennial, Dream Chasers, and the Film Festival— we aim to transform art into a bridge that facilitates people's access to basic vital needs and offers sustainable solutions.
We want to be by your side in every moment you ask, 'so, what now?'
