Flying Broom International Women's Film Festival, which cannot be realized in movie theaters due to pandemic conditions, said "If you can't leave your house, the festival will come to you!"
The theme of the year, which was planned to be "Nature", updated itself as #WeStayedAtHome due to the current conditions.
Some of the most enjoyable aspects of a film festival are wandering between movie theaters, choosing the movies you like, and running from movie to movie with the program under your arm. And most importantly: The experience of watching together.
We had to bring the festival experience that the audience is used to and loved very much, to the digital platform. We transformed the official website of the Flying Broom Foundation into a cinema center with two halls. Moreover, we delivered the directors' talks and Q&A events to art lovers on the same platform, with the same formula.
Sometimes deciding which movie to watch can be a tiring effort for the festival audience. A well-prepared film catalog and screening program determines the quality of the festival experience.
In order to keep the focus of the festival audience on the movies in a digital environment with plenty of distractions, we both prepared a traditional film catalog and turned it into contents ready to share on social media. While we the screening program and movie index in our movie theater, we transferred the daily menus to social media.
The first women's film festival in Turkey, the Flying Broom International Women's Film Festival had screened films and interacted with people in various cities of Turkey, Ankara especially, until 2020. The 24th Flying Broom International Women's Film Festival enlarged its scale and managed to meet with audiences all over the world, powered by the magic of the internet.
