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.
