Mr. Yeltan informed us that it was a great pleasure for him to attend the panels as well as the other activities that were associated with the 2nd Turkish Film Days organized by Girne American University as they experienced great interest throughout the festival.

Mr. Yeltan stated that the high energy of all students, especially of those from the Communication and Literature students held prospects for artistic productions in the field from upcoming producers.

“We are unable to explain in International Festivals why children’s films are not produced in Turkey”.

Yeltan went on to explain that Turkish artists have a difficult time in international festivals and panels explaining why children’s films are not produced in Turkey, and indicated the importance of children’s films and serials in the sector. His interest relates to being producer of children’s literature and children’s books.

Yeltans answered questions posed by both GAU student and cinema goers about the difficult character he portrayed in the September film after the panel.

Prof. Dr. Şermin Tekinalp, Communication Faculty Dean presented Gorkem Yeltan with a thank you plaket.
