Meetings on the Bridge (MoB) is the international co-production and networking platform organised within the scope of the Istanbul Film Festival in collaboration with Anadolu Efes. Meetings on the Bridge Short Film Workshop was initiated with the support of Istanbul Development Agency (ISTKA) in 2017 aiming to highlight the importance of the short films for the careers of new generation filmmakers and to contribute to the increase of high-quality productions with international potential.
