Özet:

This study deals with the concept of social realism, which emerged in the Turkish Cinema in the 1960's. In parallel with the developments in the world, some developments against the exploitation of capitalism were experienced also in Turkey with labourers and young people starting to claim their rights in the society, which was industrializing and being exploited at the same time. This right-seeking and rebellion was also a subject of the Turkish cinema, and movies within the understanding of social realism were made in this period. In this period also, especially after the Constitution of 1961, some new movies were made about emigration, squattering, unionization, strike, women's rigths. This study deals with ‘Gecelerin Ötesi' (Beyond the Nights), ‘Karanlıkta Uyananlar' (Those Waking Up at Dark), and ‘Bir Yudum Sevgi' (A Sip of Love), which are typical examples of these movies.
