Two awards to Faculty of Fine Arts students!


The short film project "Past, Future, Now" directed by Ferit Doğan, a fourth-grade student at Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), Faculty of Fine Arts, Radio, Television and Cinema Department, won the best short film award at the Bifocal Film Festival held in America. Ferit Doğan also won the best short film award by a student at the Nitiin International Film Festival in Malaysia.


The screenwriter and director of the short film "Past, Future, Now" was undertaken by Ferit Doğan, a fourth-grade student at Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Radio, Television and Cinema. Berk Köse was the director of photography.

The short film was previously screened at the Black Cat Award International Film Festival held in Bolivia and the Kalakari Film Festival held in Indonesia. The film won the best short film award in the Student Narrative category at the Bifocal Film Festival organized by the University of Pennsylvania in the USA. After this great success, the successful festival journey of the project, which won the best short film by a student award at the Nitiin International Film Festival in Malaysia, continues.

The festival journey continues!
Director Ferit Doğan stated that they are happy with the successes of his films in the festival journey, and that his dreams are growing day by day after these successes.

In the “Past, Future, Now” project, Doğan stated that he wanted to highlight the damage caused by traumas to the human mind, and in the dystopian future he created in the film, he creates a universe in which it is now possible to embark on a mental journey. Desire wanders through meaninglessly in strange places while wandering in the dark corners of his mind. Stating that they prefer to confront the characters with their own desires, passions and fears, Doğan underlines that storytelling becomes much more enjoyable as they explore human nature.
