Film days project

We started the film days project to promote cultural exchange between Orient and Occident. We want to build a bridge between countries and cultures and motivate people to go to cultural events.

Why ‘Orient Express’?

The Orient Express became a symbol of the union and reconciliation between Orient and Occident. The Orient Express Line has become a cinematic place, immortalized in the film adaptation of Agatha Christie’s famous work (Murder on the Orient Express). We found this connection between Europe and Istanbul perfect to give our film days the name ‘Orient-Express’.

Meeting point of the ‘Migration Cinema’

The cinema takes its viewers into another world, it gives them the chance of one Broadening your horizons. We consider the ‘migration cinema’ to be an important artistic production for the Orient Express Film Days, also with regard to intercultural dialogue.
