Turkish film GITMEK ("My Marlon and Brando") very well received on IFFR and Istanbul Film Festival
January 2008
Internationally co-produced GITMEK (MY MARLON AND BRANDO, TR/UK/NL, dir. Hüseyin Karabey) was critically very well received upon its world premiere on January 26, 2008 at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Members of the international film press unanimously agreed that GITMEK was the best road-movie hailing from Turkey in the last few years. Aside from its documentary content, it was especially the images shot in Iran, Iraq and East-Turkey that got highlighted. Cineco is very proud to have supervised the entire post-production process of this unique film. Executive producer Lucinda Englehart is planning on working with us again soon!
