The initial funding for Ilker Çatak's next project "Yellow Letters" comes from the fund, as does the co-production "Yurt" by Nehir Tuna, which celebrated its world premiere in Venice this year and was co-produced by the Hamburg-based company Red Balloon Film. The funded film "Suddenly" by Melisa Önel is currently being shown as a German premiere at the Nordic Film Days Lübeck, having previously premiered in Rotterdam.
