Hisar Short Film Festival




Mithat Alam Film Centre


The cosy theatrette - a full house.



A cake to celebrate the festival.



This is where the festival puts me up.


A casual gathering of filmmakers & festival directors.




View from a window. My room's window.


Morning's visitors.



Turkish Delights. Oh, they are super super sweet.



Yasemin & Recep - My 2 volunteers,
and they are super super sweet too.





Such colours and such lights . . .



The Magnificent Blue Mosque.

The Beautiful Bosphorus River.


"The Beauty of a Landscape resides in its Melancholy." - Ahmet Rasim

Istanbul, a city I'd love to revisit someday, and preferably with someone who enjoys the slowness of life.

感激它们短暂的贡献


又有谁会去记得那些被残留下的生日蜡烛?
它们不是也曾经为你绽放短暂的光芒,散发微薄的温暖吗?
纵然,生命有限,它们也在你闭上双眼许愿时,
静静的看着你,悄悄为你祝福。
