This month's expanded London Turkish Film Festival will screen films ranging from Nuri Bilge Ceylan's critically-acclaimed Clouds Of May to Gani Mujde's Turkish box-office hit Byzantium.

Now in its eighth year, the event has expanded from one to two weeks, while films will tour other London and regional cinemas for the first time. The festival runs from Friday 8 to Thursday 21 December.

Attending the event are Ayse Polat, director of Tour Abroad, Halit Refig, director of Birds Of Exile, and actor-producer Gani Savata, promoting Border. Other titles screening include black comedy Run For Money, Kafkaesque drama The Third Page and popular comedy thriller Everything's Gonna be Great.
