Turkish directors head to Yerevan Film Fest

Top Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan and young upstart Ozcan Alper are headed for a 10-day film festival in Armenia starting on Sunday. In its eighth year, Yerevan's International Golden Apricot Film Festival will again welcome some of the most prominent directors in contemporary Turkish cinema. Following appearances last year by award-winning directors Fatih Akin and Semih Kaplanoglu, the festival will welcome Ceylan, who recently won Cannes' Grand Jury Prize for "Bir Zamanlar Anadolu'da" (Once Upon a Time in Anatolia), and Ozcan Alper, best known for his "Sonbahar" (Autumn).
