35th Istanbul Film Festival

Movies that leave a mark
The Istanbul Film Festival is the oldest running international film festival in Turkey. The organisers of the festival requested us to create an extraordinary campaign for getting the attention of Gen Z.
So, how passionate can you be about a movie?
This was the question we aimed to answer for the advertising campaign for the 35th Istanbul Film Festival. And the answer was not far to seek. There were people everywhere in love with movies, recognised by the marks that they inked onto their bodies.
The idea of featuring people with film-related tattoos generated one of the most exciting (and awarded) campaigns of the year. We created a manifesto film of these enthusiasts’ eternal passion for movies, designed outdoor posters showcasing their tattoos and built a holistic advertising approach, broadcasting the concept through various channels.
