The other best films are ''Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalim (The Girl with the Red Scarf)'' by Atif Yilmaz, ''The Bride (Gelin)'' by Omer Lutfi Akad, ''Muhsin Bey (Mr. Muhsin)'' by Yavuz Turgul, ''Umut (Hope)'' by Yilmaz Guney, ''Anayurt Oteli (Motherland Hotel)'' by Omer Kavur, ''Suru (The Herd)'' by Zeki Okten, ''Masumiyet (Innocence)'' by Zeki Demirkubuz and ''Yol (The Road)'' by Serif Goren.
''Insan Nedir ki? (What's a Human Anyway?)'' by Reha Erdem are among the films to be shown during the festival.
