Every year the Taormina FilmFest recognizes one country as the guest of honor—this year the honor goes to Turkey. Several films from Turkey have been screened during the seven day festival and a Gran Gala, with a decidedly Turkish theme, was held in the Greek Theatre this evening. The festivities, conducted by actress Serra Yilmaz, included a concert by the group Baba Zula, followed by two films THE TOUCH, by Ozray Fecht, and AUF DER ANDEREN SEITE (The Edge of Heaven), by Fatih Akin.
