“Göçen Hayatlar” Kısa Filmi Bağlamında Göçün Sosyolojik Analizi
A sociological analysis of the short film “Migrating Lives”

Summary/Abstract: Artistic activity has continued its existence by changing and developing in every period. Therefore, art and artist are social products. Social scientists have been able to gather important information about social reality from artists and their artwork. Cinema, as a form of art, has had a profound impact on audiences since its inception. As technology has advanced, numerous artistic productions, including short films, have been created within the realm of cinema, and the production of short films continues today. One of these short films is “Immigrant Women” by produced Dilek Turk, which won the third prize in the short film competition on “Migration and Women” organized by the Kadem Art Association in 2021. This study utilized the open-source version of the film available on the association's website for analysis. The film was examined using the methodologies of art sociology and semiotics. The introduction of the short film and its content were presented, followed by an attempt to establish connections between the themes presented in the film and the existing migration literature. Based on the findings, it becomes evident that female immigrants who were forced to migrate due to push factors, such as the Syrian war, had to struggle with other push factors in the country they migrated to.
