The evaluations of Director Vural Çavuşoğlu, who made the first environmental-themed short film event in Turkey and held this festival for 18 years, are as follows: “The importance of such thematic festivals in the world and in our country is quite high. They contribute to film productions and original works emerge. We perform our screenings internationally. 4,500 environmental short films from 47 countries applied to this festival. We screened 22 of them. We submitted all the films that applied to our National Environmental Short Film Competition to the evaluation of the selection committee without applying a pre-selection. We could not realize our annual Public Jury application, which is appreciated by us, this year. Thank you to all the participating directors. The work of each of them is valuable to us.”
