Off Set 2018 TIFF Portrait Series: Sibel

Our final portrait before we go “mute”, Franco-Turkish filmmaker team Çagla Zencirci and Guillaume Giovanetti made their way from Locarno Film Fest into TIFF’s Contemporary World Cinema section with Sibel – their third feature after the Cannes ACID section selected Noor (2012) and Ningen – which was selected for TIFF back in 2013. Tipped by the fest as a “modern-day Cinderella story of female empowerment” starring Damla Sönmez. Çagla and Guillaume were on hand for the TIFF premiere. Here is our photo of the pairing — but apart.
