Özet:

If one of the greatest problems of the independent cinema is the distribution, how does the Law on the Assessment and Classification of the 5224 Films Reorganized by Modification produce a solution to this problem? What changes are based on? Are these changes enough to eliminate the main problems of the film industry? The study aims to discuss in general the forms of consolidated silence, production, distribution and performance conditions of the independent cinema with the Law No. 5224. For this purpose, the theoretical framework on the transformation of the film industry is first placed and the state support and funding structure that makes the industry stronger is examined. In the study, the sources related to the Turkish film industry are addressed by the literary scan method and existing problems are identified and recommendations are presented. Quantitative data related to the film industry is obtained from the independent film organization Antrakt, the European Visual Hearing Observatory’s report and the official sources of the Ministry of Culture. In the light of these data, the assessments show that the economic growth that the Turkish Cinema has experienced, increases the distance of independent films with the curtain, and adds new to the existing production, distribution and show problems. It can be said that the amended law, reduced to the problem of producers receiving more shares, has only a character that produces a solution to the problem of unbalanced economic growth and remains insufficient in the distribution or display issues.
