!F, the Istanbul International Independent Film Festival is being organised for the 10th time between 17-27 February. A wide range of cutting edge international and Turkish films are on the programme, most of which were produced in 2010. In order to take contemporary films to the countryside, organisers joined forces with an online cinema website and civil organisations. Screenings will be held in 23 cities in Turkey, many of which lack a cinema altogether, and also in Ramallah, Tbilisi, Gymri. Workshops (in Turkish, English and French) on film making and current trends are also organised, some with the contribution of the Sundance Film Institute and Labs. The !F Rainbow party will be held at Babylon and Nublu on 25 February.
