About this Event
🎬 Canadian Premiere - Fundraising Event
O Da Bir Şey Mi (And The Rest Will Follow) Film Screening
Join us for the Canadian premiere of O Da Bir Şey Mi (And The Rest Will Follow), the latest feature film by acclaimed Turkish filmmaker Pelin Esmer. An award-winning film with 8 awards, this special fundraising event is hosted by CATWAO, with all proceeds supporting the CATWAO Bursary Fund.
✨ About the Film
Written and directed by Pelin Esmer, And The Rest Will Follow premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and has since received major international recognition.
Famous film director Levent (45), the honorary guest of Söke Film Festival from İstanbul, is completely unaware of Aliye (25), a housekeeper at the hotel where he is staying. However, Aliye, who is trying to tailor a new life story for herself, knows Levent and his films very well. Aliye’s intriguing story brings together these two distant people with completely different lives. Now, they have to choose between reality and fiction.
