New York Reception
When the last screening ends, the conversation moves to the table.
Cinema that begins with a language family and reaches the cultures, histories and communities around it.
The 2026–2027 Curatorial Programme
Four curatorial strands shape the TLFF 2026–2027 selection, bringing together contemporary cinema from across the Turkic world through shared questions of inheritance, movement, transformation, and memory. Heritage Spotlight sits alongside them as a special programme rather than a fifth strand.
A National Network, Rooted in Local Communities
TLFF is shaped by a national network of cultural organizers, filmmakers, scholars, and local partners working across the United States to bring the festival to life in their communities.
With gratitude to the organizations and individuals who make the inaugural season possible. Founding sponsors are inscribed in The Founders’ Book.
