Production locale et coproductions européennes des films d'auteur dans le cinéma turc contemporain

Abstract

Since its birth Turkish cinema has gone through different eras’ that
has allowed it to progressively evolve towards an author cinema. Even though
it took longer than for European cinema, today certain contemporary Turkish
directors manage to not only nourish themselves from the aesthetics and theory
of European cinema but also of their own cinematic culture called Yeşilçam. It is
the result of their cinematographic approaches, their independent productions
and of European financial support. The source of productions has allowed
Turkish directors to choose the subjects of their films to work their art and not
just to serve the commercial expectations of the greater public. That’s how the
narrative forms of Turkish cinema have grown with a great artistic freedom with
the European co-productions.
