International Film Festivals: A Cinema Struggling to Exist Between New Resources and New ‘Dependencies’
Abstract
The article using qualitative research methods analyses the development of the directors’ cinema in Turkey against the background of the International Film Festivals as counterweight to Hollywood Studio Productions. The study concludes that the economic, financial advantage that may have been provided in view of international screening, sales and distribution of Turkish producer-director-cinema by the festivals, international co-producers and distributors also lead to interventions that tend to deconstruct national culture and ideology whilst not being sufficient to make the films, really financially successful.
It further argues that the Independent Film Festivals network of relationships are similar to Hollywood’s and are creating structures that are determining the films’ production process. They are at the same time mounting pressures on the Turkish producer-director of the arts cinema into becoming a dependence variable that may turn the art-films to films just for economic consumption.
