25th Frame: The Audience
October 2026 – July 2027
ARDAHAN
The project aims to transform audiences into critical and active participants who can influence the quality of cultural production through engagement and participation. To this end, it will organise film screenings with the participation of filmmakers and creative teams, post-screening discussions and workshops for both children and adults.
In a city without a cinema and where opportunities for cultural engagement are limited, the project seeks to establish an inclusive and sustainable space for collective film viewing and cultural exchange. By engaging educational institutions, trade unions, civil society organisations and diverse social groups across the city, it aims to ensure that these activities go beyond a series of cinema-related events. Instead, the project aspires to foster critical spectatorship, deepen audiences' engagement with cultural production and broaden the city's shared cultural space.
Through audience development and participatory cultural activities, the project seeks to strengthen local cultural life and establish lasting opportunities for access to cinema, dialogue and collective learning.
