Turkish Movies

Turkish cinema was introduced in 1896 by the Lumiere brothers. The first Turkish film to be screened was "Ayastefanos'taki Rus Abidesinin Yıkılışı" (The Demolition of the Russian Monument in San Stefano), directed by Fuat Uzkınay and produced by the Istanbul-based brother of photographer Pascal Sébah, Aziz Naci Sébah.

The first Turkish-made film was a documentary entitled Ayastefanos'taki Rus Abidesinin Yıkılışı (The Demolition of the Russian Monument at San Stefano), directed by Fuat Uzkınay and completed in 1914. Below are some of the blogs about movies and videos resolution:

The first example of a narrative film, Sedat Simavi's The Spy, was released in 1917. Turkey's first sound film was shown in 1931.

Turkey's cinema is internationally well known for its romantic comedy films. Some notable Turkish romantic comedy films include Süt Kardeşler (1999), Vizontele (2001), Vizontele Tuuba (2004), and Aşk Tesadüfleri Sever (2011).

Many Turkish cities and towns have their own local film festivals: Alanya, Ankara, Antakya, Bursa, Çanakkale, Eskisehir, Gaziantep, Istanbul - Filmekimi, Kayseri, Mersin International Film Festival, Adana Golden Boll Film Festival and so on.

Some of these festivals are called "international" but they are actually local. There are also national festivals such as the Adana Golden Boll Film Festival.

When Did Turkish Movies Start

Turkish movies started in 1923 when the republic was established. The first program that was broadcasted on TV in Turkey was a news program. The first non-news program was a children's show called "Bayramınız kutlu olsun".

Turkish movies were very popular in the 90s and 2000s. They were mostly romantic comedy movies that were aimed at teenagers or young adults. However, since 2010 there has been a sharp decline in the number of Turkish movies being made.

This has caused many people to start watching American or British TV shows instead of Turkish ones. Although there have been some attempts at making new types of movies such as action or sci-fi ones, they have not been very successful so far.

The most popular Turkish movie ever is "Recep İvedik". It stars Togan Gökbakar as Recep İvedik and deals with his life after he loses his job. He tries to find a new one but has no luck until he meets an old friend of his father's who gives him some money to start his own business selling sausages on the street corner.

Why Turkish Movies are Blooming

The Turkish film industry is booming. In the last few years, Turkey has produced a lot of good movies and actors. The directors and producers are doing a great job.

Turkish films have become very popular all over the world. Even Indians and people from other countries are now watching Turkish films. The Turkish films are being dubbed in various languages.

Turkish films are very different from Bollywood films. They have a unique story that attracts the audience. The Turkish movies have a good storyline and a good direction.

There is no vulgarity in them like Bollywood films. The acting of the lead actors is also very nice. They look very cute together, which makes their fans happy.

The new generation loves to watch such films as they can relate to them and learn something from them. It gives them a positive message too, which helps them to grow as an individual, mentally and emotionally too.

How Turkish Movies Make Money

Turkish films have had an incredible year at the box office, with nine films grossing more than $10 million, or double the number in 2015. They are even competing with Hollywood blockbusters.

The Turkish film industry has achieved this by making films for all tastes and audiences, from action films to romantic comedies.

Distributed by film companies often owned by the producers themselves, these films have been carefully marketed using social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, said Ibrahim Onat, a Turkish cinema critic based in Istanbul who contributes to news website T24.

Turkish films "have a lower budget than Hollywood movies but a higher budget than European movies," he told Al-Monitor in a phone interview. "They are made by people who know how to use their money well."

You might not associate Turkish films with the likes of Hollywood, but the country's film industry is booming. Its production companies made about 300 movies last year and its box office sales were up nearly 30 per cent from the previous year.

But how does it make money? If you're a Turkish filmmaker, there are a lot of ways to fund your movie.

The biggest source of funding is domestic box office sales — that's about 40 per cent. Another 30 per cent comes from foreign sales, mostly to Europe and the Middle East. About 15 per cent comes from film festivals and awards, and the remaining 15 per cent comes from international TV sales and other sources.
