Iranian filmmaker Maryam Bahrololoomi to judge at Turkish festival
Bahrolooloomi, an acclaimed filmmaker with a string of international honors under her belt, will join jurors from Germany, France, and Turkey to evaluate feature films in the event running from May 5 to May 10, 2025, in the coastal city of Izmir, Mehr News Agency reported.
Launched in 2015 by the Turkish Women Directors Association, the festival highlights cinema, shorts, animation, and documentaries crafted by women. It has grown into one of Asia’s key platforms for showcasing women’s voices in film.
Bahrololoomi, a member of the Iranian Directors Guild and the Film Producers Association of Iran, has “consistently” received recognition for her work and served as a juror at numerous international festivals.
The International Women Filmmakers Festival, known locally as Kadin Yönetmenler Festivali, has built a reputation for putting women’s storytelling “front and center” in an industry often dominated by men.
