The Altın Koza Festival in Adana, Turkey, is an event that harkens back to the golden age of cinema, showcasing both Turkish film classics and contemporary movies. Its inaugural edition took place in 1969.

The 33rd edition concluded on 4, October.

The film HOTEL, by our cinematography student Halil Tanisan, won the award for Best Short Film. Congratulations to the film director, and the rest of the crew!

Apart from the Turkish festival the film has been screened at two cinematography festivals: Camerimage and Manaki Brothers.

HOTEL

Film synopsis: A man arrives at an abandoned hotel, where an eerie silence wraps around him like a warning. Wandering through dimly lit corridors, he finds no signs of life—only a solitary, unattended meal waiting in the dining room.
