The Festival on Wheels (Шаблон:Lang-tr) is an annual film festival, organised by the Ankara Cinema Association based in Ankara, Turkey, which has been held since 1995. Its mission is to present outstanding examples of cinema to film enthusiasts in different cities around Turkey and to introduce Turkish cinema to the rest of the world.
During its first 16 iterations the festival has visited the cities of Ankara, Artvin, Baku (Azerbaijan), Bursa, Çanakkale, Drama (Greece), Eskişehir, Gaziantep, Istanbul, Izmir, Kars, Kayseri, Malatya, Mersin, Ordu, Samsun, Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and T’blisi (Georgia).
The festival has held an International Competition since 2007 which currently awards First Prize (€10,000), Second Prize (€5000) and the SİYAD (Turkish Film Critics Association) Prize, as well as the Audience Award, a prize determined by the votes of the public and awarded to a short film screened in the festival.
The festival also puts on a programme of workshops to which it invites a number of filmmakers from Turkey and overseas.
