The new feature film by Director Kemal Yildirim received it’s first exclusive screening on 13th May 2010 at the world famous Carlton Hotel, Cannes, to a star studded audience at the Abu Dhabi Culture & Heritage party. The film received a fantastic response from the packed house of industry people.

The second screening was of a more urban setting screened to movie goers streetside on La Croisette. ‘Secrets‘ featured on the last night of mobile film festival Cannes in a Van on 20th May 2010, showing real indie filmmaking at its best. Kemal was honoured to have ‘Secrets’ as the last feature film that ended the Cannes in a Van 2010 film festival tour.

“The film is an experiment of creative freedom & genuine interplay between actors and total realism there is no fixed ending as I want to develop that with the actors. The skeletal structure of the story is there but will evolve with the characters and their actions. Each character will evolve their own ending  opening options within their world” Kemal Yildirim.
