Biography
Pelin Turgut writes about Turkey for a variety of publications including
Time magazine and The Independent. She is also co-founder of the !f Istanbul
International Independent Film Festival, held each year in February, which hosts some 70,000 people and celebrates new directions in world cinema.
As far as film-going pilgrimages go, little beats the genuine enthusiasm and enchantment afoot in the ancient city of Kars, a sleepy ancient town in Eastern Turkey (famously depicted in Orhan Pamuk's novel Snow) when the Festival on Wheels stops there every November. Locals, few of whom speak a foreign language, brave snow and bitter cold to pack screenings of
adventurous European films.
