New programs

One of the newest events in bomontiada ALT is "Workshop Children: Colorful bomontiada with Stop Motion" where children can bring stories to life through play dough and stop-motion animation. Another one is "Exhibition: Opening of Example Behavior" designed to examine the relationships, situations and actions of individuals in relation to their social interactions.

Performances

"Dirmit" tells the story of the youngest daughter of a family who has moved from a village to the city while "Trom" focuses an actor's obsession with life and the game Under the Table. The "Theory of Light" details three journeys through the obligatory aspects of life and depicts how seemingly insignificant moments often add to the future.

In "Voice of Fairytales," Seiba Narrators invites participants to the world of fairytales and myths.

MishMash will be presenting a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's classic play "Romeo and Juliet" depicted through a relationship between a ro

mantic, tragic hero and a funny, silly clown.

Also included on the schedule is an interactive show of magic and comedy, "Magic Sessions," with Kubilay QB Tuncer, a show that has been performed from Sydney to Las

Vegas for almost a quarter century.

Music Sessions

"MIAMI Presents: Music = World" brings the wide world of music to bomontiada ALT. Underlining that music is a beautiful combination of effort and time, "MIAM Presents: Music = Time" reflects how music helps to knit the rhythm of life. In "MIAM Presents: Music = Electric", participants will get the chance to experience unique electronic transformations of instrumental tones.

"MIAM Presents: Music = Future" offers interesting takes on two concerts, abstract art and auditory art, including micro-sounds created by a multi-channel sound system.

Movie Screenings

"Samsara" lacks the traditional dialogue and text cues usually used to interpret films. Instead, it transports the audience from juxtaposed locations, including sacred sites, disasters, industrial complexes and natural wonders.

"Son of Saul" focuses on two days in the life of the Jewish slave Saul who is forced to work in a concentration camp.

"White Band" is the story of families formed by youngsters, barons, priests, doctors, midwives and farmers on the eve of World War I.

"Amy" is based on the heartbreaking life of Amy Winehouse by bringing her life to the screen through her own words. Including newly released archival footage and songs, this striking and heartfelt movie shines a light on her real life.
