At Sarya Films Collective, collaboration is our method,
solidarity is our ethic, and social, political, and environmental issues
guide every story we tell.
The Kurdish name Sarya - meaning “woman cavalry'' - reflects
our ethos of collaboration and empowerment of women,
encouraging female voices to take part in every stage of filmmaking.
We operate through two entities:
Sarya Film (Türkiye) and Sarya Film srl (Italy) to support
independent filmmakers through the development, production,
and distribution of their films.
Our work is built through project-based collectives. Each film
gathers a different group of producers, artists, and technicians
around the same vision and shared values from development
through production and post-production.
