Meltem Cumbul

The International Filmmor Women's Film Festival on Wheels celebrates its 18th anniversary in seven cities with 46 films, interviews panels and workshops this year. The festival will kick off in Istanbul on March 16 and continue through May 10.

Celebrities, athletes and TV figures have waded into the debate on charter amendments that will usher in a powerful presidency, turning to social media to publicly announce whether they are for or against the major changes to the country's political system. 

A crisis has arisen in the Turkish TV series "Kırlangıç Fırtınası" (Swallow Storm), after lead actress Meltem Cumbul left the set in reaction against the inclusion of a baby in the series. 

In the series, Cumbul plays a mother who is looking for her daughter alongside the actor Fikret Kuşkan. 

Discussions continue over the cancelation of the screening of Çayan Demirel and Ertu?rul Mavio?lu's film "Bakur" (North) at the 34th Istanbul Film Festival because of its lack of a proper registration certificate.

Cinema organizations and actors, who held a meeting on April 13 at the Atlas Movie Theater, launched a press release prepared by hundreds of filmmakers.
