KurdishCinema.com Recent years saw the rise of Kurdish Cinema, thanks to the films of Kurdish directors living in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Kurdish Diaspora. As a result of this relative rise the Kurds have been a popular topic in the world cinema circles. The recently shot films of certain Kurdish directors should be accepted as the milestones of the Kurdish Cinema Movement. KurdishCinema has been created to provide theoretical, historical and practical information and to present the academic works and discussions on Kurdish films-cinema to the movie-lovers.

I think for Kurds the expression of thoughts and feelings or the reflection of events in the form of film are needed very much. For this reason I respect and care about any filmic/academic work (be it Kurdish films, festivals or researches on Kurdish cinema etc.) that has been done and will be done with respect to Kurds. As the editor of KurdishCinema I want to share my works and the information, news and any articles that I find during my research on Kurdish cinema, with the reader. In the hope of seeing more and quality Kurdish films, hello to everyone. KurdishCinema will only improve with your contribution! devrim kilic editor in chief e-mail: kurdishcinema@hotmail.com |
