“YELLOW IS THE LAST COLOR.” BY AGATA MAJCHEROWICZ WINS AWARD AT DIRECTED BY WOMEN FILM FESTIVAL
The short documentary “Yellow Is The Last Color.”, directed by Agata Majcherowicz, won the top prize at the 8th edition of the Directed By Women Türkiye Film Festival, held in Istanbul from 11-13 September. The festival also marked the film’s international premiere.
Directed by Women is an initiative bringing together women filmmakers from Turkey and around the world. The festival is the Turkish edition of the #DirectedByWomen Worldwide Film Viewing Part, an international event that has been taking place for over a decade in locations including Spain and the United States. Its programme showcases short films by women directors representing a wide range of cultures, languages, perspectives, and experiences.
“Yellow Is The Last Color.” – produced by Lodz Film School – is a story about love in a world that cannot be seen.
The festival in Istanbul was the first, but certainly not the last, stop on the film’s festival journey. In September, the documentary will travel to Italy where it will be screened at the international Nebrodi Cinema DOC festival. In October, it will be presented as part of the programme of Filmski Festival Uhvati Film – Seize the Film in Novi Sad, Serbia.
