Dear Kissbankers,   We would like to thank you warmly for you support. You have been many to back us since the beginning. If this film today exists, it is thanks to you.   This last campaign didn’t reach it’s goal. But is has been a great opportunity to promote our project on a global scale and to enlarge our network. We got calls form the United-States, from Portugal, Greece and Turkey to offer us some benefits help and to encourage us. The Gulbenkian Foundation based in Lisbon offered us a considerable financial help, allowing us to pursue our project and to edit the promised web-series.   We are also proud to announce that Turkey, the Legacy of Silence has been chosen for the Istanbul Film Festival next April. Obtaining that kind of advertising in Turkey is a beautiful and symbolic victory for us !   For those who are disappointed not being able to participate in the financing of our last crowdfunding campaign, we will launch a new one, more modest and based on the supports we are still gathering from other foundations. We will keep you posted about that ;)   Again, thanks a lot for believing in our project.   Sincerely yours, The Legacy team.
