DC FilmFest-Only 4 more days!!! Don't miss it :)

I definitely feel obliged to inform all of you living in the DC Metropolitan Area that; it is only 4 more days to enjoy DC FilmFest :)

If you are one of those people who generally don’t feel fulfilled after seeing a Hollywood movie, than you should try one of these wonderful screenings that are on all around DC! :)

It is a happy coincidence that this year, DC FilmFest is happening around the same dates with Istanbul FilmFestival so whether you live in DC or in Istanbul you have a reason to enjoy both of these countries more in early April this yearJ
