ABOUT US
The AMERTA ART International Film Festival, which takes place in Turkey, and is now in its 4th year, aims to encourage more considerable global attention to documentary films and social movies and promote quality films focusing on diverse civilizations and cultures from across the world. The festival considers itself a valuable resource for distributing and developing world content. AMERTA ART encourages the submission of films from all countries. We look for films with a focus on our changing world that express a unique perspective that highlights innovation or perhaps captures a dying tradition. Culture is a broad topic, replete with multiple interpretations, and we promote the examination and expression of all. Each year, we aim to produce a program that provides our audiences with meaningful and thought-provoking questions about the world we live in. The Organizing Committee also engages in the market, connecting filmmakers with opportunities for distribution, and producing an annual industry forum where projects in development are linked with possible funding or co-production.

About the team
team Testimonialst
“Art should be unencumbered by technological and economic concerns. That’s what I’m here for, I make sure that everything outside the art world runs smoothly so that my outstanding and talented colleagues can focus purely on the Art.”
ou have to cut something out to add something. I give Amerta Art a look that goes beyond design and gives Amerta Art true beauty through the means of art and painting. It is essential not to settle for the first best – art should always be something new and strive for perfection, but at the same time, art is not an end in itself – it should have a purpose and be heard.”
The vision that the Amerta Art Film Festival is striving for has motivated me to make my contribution to it. Especially my passion for art and its social aspects has always driven me and has let me participate in many projects so far. The atmosphere that the Amerta Art Film Festival also radiates has always been a priority for me. I support Amerta Art in creating a connection to Turkey so that we can realize our shared vision.”
Art is one of the brightest and purest forms of communication. It enables us to see into the soul of the artist and to recognize his very individual view of the world. It resists all censorship and opens a whole new perspective on reality – whether you like it or not. As the founder of Amerta Art, I want to enable these artists to share their individual views of the world. My mission is to discover new artists and curate their projects. “
“As a photographer and filmmaker, it is my passion to capture the world in pictures and films. My mission is to enable like-minded people to share their captures with the world. For this, I develop the ideas that make up the Amerta Art Film Festival.”
