Kürt Sineması: Mahpusluk ve Temsiliyet
KURDISH CINEMA: IMPRISONMENT AND REPRESENTATION

Summary/Abstract: The notion of Kurdish cinema emerged in the 2000s during when directors like Bahman Ghobadi and Hineer Salem have been occupying a significant space at international film festivals; and since then it has been arousing a significant interest with the rising number of Kurdish directors and consequently Kurdish fiction and documentary films. In this article Kurdish cinema produced in Turkey is thoroughly analysed, and taking Yılmaz Güney as the milestone for the formation of Kurdish cinema it is argued that Kurdish cinema can be defined as a cinema of imprisonment. In this respect through evaluating the current Kurdish directors, and their films the characteristics of the cinema of imprisonment definition is scrutinized.
