Description



About the Book



Examines the work of women filmmakers in comtemporary Turkey.



Book Synopsis



For the first time in the history of cinema, Turkey witnesses a generation of female directors who occupy their own space within the New Cinema Movement. They claim an authority of their own and create a distinct cinema. However, recent scholarship on the cinema of Turkey predominantly conceptualises contemporary cinema in relation to the patriarchal discourse of male auteurs and recognises its female directors in a tokenistic manner. This book is the first academic work recognising this historical moment - the flourish of a women's cinema in Turkey which disrupts the dominant discourses and brings another view to look at the post-millennial cinema. This study identifies the new production methodologies used by the contemporary female directors from Turkey in relation to socio-political and cultural dynamics and conceptualises these features under the term, 'Women's New Cinema'. It also undertakes feminist textual exegesis of selected case studies in these directors' work.



Review Quotes




This beautiful and visionary book offers vital new research on the work of contemporary women filmmakers in Turkey. Pinar Fontini, herself a filmmaker as well as scholar and critic, offers a feminist approach which looks towards radical possibility. The heartfelt attention given to the stories of the films and the memories they hold, and to the voices of their creators, allows this also to be a work of advocacy.-- "Emma Wilson, University of Cambridge"
