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 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. In the
process, they illuminate the industrial, cultural, and political
contexts in which the films they address were produced, exhibited,
and circulated. The resulting volume, which includes a
comprehensive filmography and recommendations for those interested
in further exploration, will be an indispensible reference for
scholars and students of Turkish cinema.
