Do Not Forget Me Istanbul

Mavi Boncuk | A mother discovers a son she presumed dead; two lovers seek refuge for an illicit affair; a businessman finds joy in a city he once condemned. Welcome to Istanbul as seen through the eyes of six young directors in a new film that attempts to reveal the city's many faces, as well as its forgotten past.Made up of six 15-minute shorts, "Do Not Forget Me Istanbul" is about a metropolis that has one of the most diverse and colorful histories of any major city on earth," said Huseyin Karabey, the movie's artistic director and producer. "You can turn onto a random street and stumble across a Roman building that was once a Turkish bath, which then became a British prison, and is now a Russian restaurant."
