A message from Ebrû Avci:
Dear All,
I have been studying at B éla Tarr’s film.factory B.A. program in Sarajevo for the last 3 years, and now I am in my final semester. But unfortunately, I cannot pay my final semester's fee, so I will not get my bachelors degree.

Faculty members at Béla Tarr's school include, among others: Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Béla Tarr, Carlos Reygadas, Fred Kelemen, Gus Van Sant, Jean-Michel Frodon, Jonathan Romney, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Stephen and Timothy Quay, Thierry Garrel and Tilda Swinton.

Visiting artists, actors and professors include, among others: Juliette Binoche, Gael García Bernal, James Benning, Pedro Costa, Agnieszka Holland, Lech Kowalski, Zeki Demirkubuz and Abel Ferrara.

In my 2nd-year at Tarr's film.factory I made a film that was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at Doc-Lisboa in Portugal. It is currently touring the world with screenings.

If the goal of $3500 for my tuition has not been reached by August 31st, everyone will get a refund because that is the last day I can send this fee for my degree.

If you would like to send me a message or have a question please email me at [email redacted]

Thank you!
