- Summary:
- This title is part of the 'Directory of World Cinema' series. It includes contributions from some of the leading academics in the field. It features film recommendations from a range of genres for those interested in watching more Turkish cinema. It includes full colour illustrations. It features comprehensive filmography as an index in the first English-language directory of Turkish films. Since the 1990s, filmmakers in Turkey have increasingly explored notions of gender, genre, cultural memory, and national and transnational identity. Taking these themes as its starting point, this book - the first English-language directory of Turkish films - provides an extensive historical overview of the country's cinema since the early 1920s. In chapters organized by genre - such as fantasy and science fiction, contemporary blockbusters, women's films, Istanbul films, and transnational or accented cinema - leading scholars of Turkish cinema offer reflections on the country's most important film movements and filmmakers.
