Second week of the festival presents a programme even more intense than the first day. • STREET DOGS FROM THE DIRECTOR WITH GOLDEN PALM Who remembers the street dogs exterminated in 1910 for the sake of modernisation?

Dogs Story was at 11.00 at Fitaş 1 with the participation of assistant director Burçin Gerçek and scriptwriter Catherine Pinguet. Pinguet said: “We showed what is good in the documentary: those who behave well to street dogs and protect them... However, it should not be considered that this is the situation. There are also a lot of bad things going on.” • LEVELS OF SOCIAL SCHIZOPHRENIA Director Savaş Baykal shows us the dysfunctionality of legal and social institutions while presenting the childhood of the cruel youth.
