1)History of yeşilçam

Yeşilçam ("Green Pine") is a metonym for the Turkish film industry, similar to Hollywood in the United States. Yeşilçam
is named after Yeşilçam Street in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul where many actors, directors, crew members and
studios were based.
Yeşilçam experienced its heyday from the 1950s to the 1970s, when it produced 250 to 350 films annually. Between
1950 and 1966 more than fifty movie directors practiced film arts in Turkey. Ömer Lütfi Akad strongly influenced the
period, but Osman Fahir Seden, Atıf Yılmaz, and Memduh Ün made the most films. The film Susuz Yaz (Dry Summer),
made by Metin Erksan, won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 1964.
The number of cinemagoers and the number of films made constantly increased, especially after 1958. In the 1960s the
programs of the theater departments in the Language, History and Geography faculties of Ankara
University and Istanbul University included cinema courses, as did the Press and Publications High School of Ankara
University. A cinema branch was also established in the Art History Department of the State Fine Arts Academy.
The Union of Turkish Film Producers and the State Film Archives both date from the 1960s. The State Film Archives
became the Turkish Film Archives in 1969. During the same period, the Cinema-TV Institute was founded and annexed
to the State Academy of Fine Arts. The Turkish State Archives also became part of this organization. In 1962, the
Cinema-TV Institute became a department of Mimar Sinan University. Well-known directors of the 1960–1970 period
include Metin Erksan, Atıf Yılmaz, Memduh Ün, Halit Refiğ, Duygu Sağıroğlu, Remzi Aydın Jöntürk and Nevzat Pesen.
In 1970, the numbers of cinemas and cinemagoers rose spectacularly. In the 2,424 cinemas around the country, films
were viewed by a record number of 247 million viewers.
In 1970, approximately 220 films were made and this figure reached 300 in 1972. Turkish cinema gave birth to its
legendary stars during this period, notable examples being Kemal Sunal, Kadir İnanır, Türkan Şoray and Şener Şen.
After this period, however, the cinema began to lose its audiences, due to nationwide TV broadcasts. After 1970, a new
and younger generation of directors emerged, but they had to cope with an increased demand for video films after 1980.
