PRESENTATION OF THE BOOK

This volume covers approaches concerning the relationship between 
innovation in cinema and the politics of filmmaking in new cinema 
practices in Turkey. The contributors focus on historiography, genres, 
mainstream and art cinema production, and transnational cinema, as well 
as changing narratives and identities. The new cinema movement in Turkey 
is here analysed from perspectives of new technologies, new production 
and distribution structures, the impact of film training, the televisual 
industry, new actors in commercial and art cinema, as well as the impact 
of the film festival circuit. Additionally, recurring themes of memory, 
trauma, and identity are dealt with from multidisciplinary angles. The 
volume covers in depth analyses of the internationally renowned 
filmmakers Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Fatih Akin, Semih Kaplanoglu, Reha Erdem, 
Zeki Demirkubuz, Yesim Ustaoglu and Dervis Zaim. A timely study on the 
centenary of Turkish cinema in 2014, students of Middle Eastern Studies, 
Film Studies, Cultural Studies, Urban Studies, Gender studies, and 
identity studies will find this volume extremely relevant to their work.
