To The Boston Turkish Film Festival which, under the direction of founder Erkut Gömülü, celebrates 18 years of bringing work by emerging and established filmmakers of the Turkish cinema to Boston audiences.

To The Boston Latino International Film Festival, launched in 2001, for bringing to Boston audiences a varied, challenging line-up of local, national and international films by Latinx filmmakers, and for prioritizing outreach to community partners.
