Duhok IFF announce the New Poster of 3rd Duhok International Film Festival 2015 The object around which encloses the core concept of this year is the Nazar, a symbol that encloses many meanings; the eye of god, luck, tradition and cultural identity. The evil eye symbolises the human eye, the window that opens the world and as such, it is the starting point of good and bad thoughts. Inserted inside the poster, it melts with the logo, creating a silhouette of the grape leaf, - a very special symbol of Kurdistan. The poster evokes dynamism of all the elements and the movement commemorates birth, life, growth, hope and courage. Encasing this frame of symbols, we have included some elements that reflect film, such as a film roll and the number 3. Roberta Evangelista

30 Years passed, and what remains ... What remains are vivid and haunting memories of a man from a working-class town who becomes an award-wining director, writer, producer and actor. What remains is the icon of the Kurdish Cinema, Yılmaz Güney.
