Cinema is both an art form and a means of communication. It shapes public opinion through propaganda and serves as entertainment. Published as a tribute to its 100th anniversary, this book covers the phases of transformation and change in Turkish cinema, the regulations imposed on cinema by ruling parties and military coups, and studies that fall under various subcategories of film theory. It also contains interdisciplinary articles on topics such as cinema and law, cinema and philosophy, cinema and politics, cinema and information technology, cinema and political sociology, cinema and social policy, and cinema and the film industry.
