EXCLUSIVE: Trailer for Toronto title Anatolian Leopard
Anatolian Leopard by Emre Kayis

, directed by Turkey's Emre Kayis and selected in the Discovery section of the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival.

“This story is about the wounded, bleeding ground I live on. I made a film about people who are under threat of extinction. For me, Anatolian Leopard is another pretext to contemplate human and country’s nature,” the director says in the film’s press kit.

Anatolian Leopard is represented by French world sales agent Luxbox.
