‘Hysteria’ will now benefit from promotional support from Europa Cinemas.

The cast includes Devrim Lingnau, Mehdi Meskar, Serkan Kaya, Nicolette Krebitz, and Aziz Çapkurt. The jury issued the following statement: “Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s Hysteria is a really well-crafted conspiracy thriller. But beyond the enjoyment to be had with the film, we feel that its incendiary subject matter can really promote dialogue and a greater insight into the tensions in our society today.”
