2013 Activities

90th Anniversary of Turkish Republic Day Ball

TACH collaborated with the Turkish Consulate of Western Australia to organise the third Turkish Republic Ball at the Rendezvous Hotel, Scarborough in Perth, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey.

Music was provided by Grup Ezgi, a 6-piece Melbourne-based Turkish band, and traditional Turkish dancing and art exhibitions entertained guests.

Turkish Film Nights 2013

In September 2013, TACH organised the screening of two Turkish films, Deli Deli Olma and Yangin Var at the Cygnet Cinema in Como, Western Australia. Guests enjoyed finger foods before the movie in the lobby of the historic cinema.

Built in 1938 and a landmark in South Perth, the Cygnet Cinema is a heritage-listed art-deco building, and the only cinema in Perth at the time still able to screen 35mm film reels.

The Turkish Film Nights were supported by the Republic of Turkey, Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Turkish Consulate of Melbourne.
