Course Goal / Objective
The purpose of this course is to investigate Turkish film history, film theory and film practice from the foundation of the Turkish Republic up to today's new wave of Turkish cinema. It should be evident that whilst filmmakers and theorists have their own particular focal concerns, in many cases they are responding to problems posed within a social and political context.
Course Content
All film theory and films examined in this course ask crucial questions both about the establishment of a national film industry as well as about the status of Turkey's film industry as a key instrument of social representation and reproduction. The course thus provides a theoretical and cinematic map on which to locate some of the key issues confronted in film studies as well as in Turkish society. In order to emphasise the link between film as practice and film theory, sessions will address specific film-related phenomena connected to the weekly topic under discussion.
