Overview
Publisher and Secretary General of the Turkish Publishers Association, Nazlı Berivan Ak, presents her second documentary following The Bookseller. “Dost: A 49-Year Story” is a 40-minute documentary that tells the story of Dost Bookstore, a landmark of Ankara’s cultural life, while also focusing on the transformation of publishing in Türkiye and the ongoing struggle to preserve written culture. The film unfolds through an in-depth conversation with Erdal Akalın, the founder of Dost Bookstore.

In doing so, the documentary offers a compelling testimony to the Turkish publishing ecosystem.
