It wasn’t easy to make a women’s film festival survive for ten years despite everything. Ten years later, when we look back at those years and the road we’ve come through, we see this: Despite tens of organizations and institutions, our supporters that embrace the festival as if it were theirs, this is stil very hard! We want to thank our sponsors once again who help us make this festival real.  

This year, we have seen 149 films from four corners of the world.All those films passed through Ankara. We won’t be able to say “don’t worryfor what you missed. But to watch films at least as good as these ones, to have a closer look at women’s cinema, you’ll have to wait for the 11th Flying Broom International Women’s Film Festival.

This year 14 films have been shown in “Each has a different colour”. FIPRESCI jury of Adina Bradeanu form Romania, Penka Monova from Bulgaria and Necla Algan from Turkey rewarded Faces Of A Fig Tree by Kaori Momoi with this award.

Jury explained their decision as followed:
This film affirms women but also life itself, and the ways in which that life remains imprinted on our memory. It captures life as both struggle and as joy, and it does that in a rich and innovative visual language which of ten disrupts conventional story-telling.
ImageFinally, this film is the directing debut of an a woman who has switched to filmmaking af ter having built a career for herself as an actress in films directed by [incidentally male) filmmakers such as Akira Kurosawa, Shohei Imamura, Kazuo Hara or Alexander Sokurov. ImageWe have decided in favour of this film as it discretely asserts the potential and the right of women to try new life-path s at different moments throughout their careers, rather than staying stuck with the choices made in their youth.
