Özet:

There was no documentary film about the life of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in his health or after his death. The first documentary film about Ataturk's life was made in 1954 during the Democratic Party. The director of the film titled "Ataturk Sevgisi" is Münir Hayri Egeli. The Democratic Party and especially by then-President Celal Bayar were particularly influential in the production and financing of the film. The film "Ataturk Sevgisi", which consists of archival images taken in Ataturk's health, is a compilation documentary. The film was released in movie theaters all over Turkey a week before the May 2, 1954 Parliamentary General Elections. Therefore "Atatürk Sevgisi" was also considered as the election propaganda film of the Democratic Party. However, in addition to being a propaganda study, the film also reflects the Democratic Party's view of Ataturk and Ataturkism. In this study, the production process of Ataturk Sevgisi will be transferred. Traces of the right-wing interpretation of Ataturkism represented by the Democratic Party will be explored in the film Ataturk Sevgisi.
