Cinema protest dominates Istanbul festival
The traditional awards ceremony rounded off the Istanbul Film Festival but the closing night was also marked by protests against the closure of the Turkish city’s famous Emek cinema.
The demonstrations had dominated the festival from beginning to end. Actors and directors were among those opposed to the construction of a shopping centre on the site of the cinema. The cinema itself will be rebuilt in the centre.
