'Two Times the Other.' That was the Third International Bodrum Film Festival co-organized by the Bodrum Municipality, Documentary Filmmaker's Association (BSB)and the Eurasia Arts Collective last week. The six-day festival had 70 movies from 24 countries. This event attempted a redefinition of the new world order by means of special sections, i.e. the Middle East, migration, and globalization, and thereby it highlighted its pioneering position as a Mediterranean festival. In this festival the films focused on Israeli/Palestinian issues along with Middle Eastern issues. Some movies presented to the audience discussed the negative effects of globalization and migration as well. Some others showed us the notion of 'women's cinema.'"
