ABOUT eda elif Tibet

After graduating from Istanbul Bilgi University (Economics / BA) I spent a year in India, working as a fundraiser for an MBA university (www.isb.edu). It is there, that I realised my passion for documenting and living among different cultures. I then went on studying in UK as an Mphil student on Social Anthropology at the University of Kent ( 2013).
I have spent two years researching the human-environmental relationships between the cave dwellers of Cappadocia with their environments, dwelling spaces and pigeons. I have also produced my first documentary film as part of the graduate thesis , which I called “28 Days on the moon” ( January 2012). Written and filmed by myself, the documentary plays a homage to my roots and ancestors in Cappadocia, Turkey. The film raises local perceptions on tourism development and advocates for the local livelihoods and different dwelling perspectives in a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Protected Area.
Having the documentary film screened in various festivals around the world; New Zealand, Italy, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Abu Dhabi, Turkey, www.28daysonthemoon.weebly.com , it has then been broadcasted by Turkey's foremost documentary TV Channel, IZ TV , June 2012 -June 2013.
