You are cordially invited to a film screening of "Overdrive: Istanbul in the New Millennium," directed by Turkish filmmaker Aslihan Unaldi.
The documentary film tells the story of Istanbul's struggle to come to terms with accelerated population growth and car-centric policies that have dominated its development in the last five decades - issues that are challenging megacities around the world. Once an ancient imperial capital, now a bustling modern megalopolis, will Istanbul renew itself once again, or succumb to uncontrolled motorization and urban growth? Featuring interviews with Dogan Kuban, John Freely, Edhem Eldem and others.
A question & answer session with Director Aslihan Unaldi and Executive Producer and EMBARQ Turkey Founder Sibel Bulay will follow the film screening. An opening reception will be held.
"Overdrive" is produced by EMBARQ, a program of the DC-based World Resources Institute that aims to create sustainable transport solutions worldwide including Turkey.
