What were Çiğdem Mater and Mine Özerden sentenced to 18 years in prison for?

Their case has become one of the clearest symbols of the shrinking space for artistic freedom and dissent in Turkey.

In our latest opinion article, we ask what the imprisonment of the two filmmakers reveals about the state of justice in Turkey—and where the country is heading.

A quick update regarding the AVFRI Talent Network.

We've received several messages from filmmakers asking why they have not yet been invited to join, and we'd like to clarify how the network works.

Every invitation is sent personally to filmmakers whose work has been viewed through the Lisboeta International Short Film Festival (LISFF). However, in many cases, films are submitted by producers, film schools, sales agents or distribution companies rather than by the filmmakers themselves. When that happens, the invitation is sent to the contact details provided with the submission, and unfortunately it does not always reach the director or other members of the creative team.

The AVFRI Talent Network is not built on coincidence or open registration. It is a carefully curated community of filmmakers whose work has genuinely impressed us.

If you submitted your film to LISFF yourself and believe you should have received an invitation, or if your film was submitted on your behalf and the invitation never reached you, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us by sending us an email to avfrix@gmail.com. We'd be happy to hear from you.

The network continues to grow, one remarkable filmmaker at a time:

Some journalists report events. Others change the way we understand history.

In our latest 'Legacy' essay, we reflect on the life and work of Sevgül Uludağ -an investigative journalist whose decades-long pursuit of truth helped restore dignity to Cyprus's missing persons and gave voice to families searching for answers.
More than a tribute, this is a reflection on journalism as an ethical responsibility, on the relationship between truth and memory, and on the enduring legacy of a woman who refused to let silence have the final word.

AVFRI presents the AVFRI Talent Network, created in cooperation with the Lisboeta International Short Film Festival (LISFF).

Born from years of discovering exceptional filmmakers and artists from around the world, the AVFRI Talent Network is a curated space dedicated to creative talent whose work has captured our attention and inspired us.

Every festival faces the same reality: there are always more remarkable films than there is time to screen. Many outstanding creators remain beyond the boundaries of an Official Selection, despite the quality and originality of their work. We believe that talent deserves recognition beyond a single festival decision.

The AVFRI Talent Network was created to celebrate and support filmmakers, actors, writers, producers, visual artists, and other creative professionals whose work we have personally viewed and admired. Every profile in the network has been individually invited—there are no random submissions or coincidental profiles.

More than a directory, the AVFRI Talent Network is a growing international community designed to foster visibility, collaboration, and meaningful creative connections.

Discover the network and the talents shaping the future of contemporary cinema and the arts:
