Descripción: Turkish cinema, which its history goes back to early 20th century, has been affected by cultural and economic transformations of society and has witnessed to various quests. 1960-1975 period of Turkish cinema is accepted as “Yeşilçam Cinema” that creates new characteristics after its infanthood. Considering many different factors, it is possible to say that Yeşilçam is a hybrid production that has been collated in the cultural and economical process of the Turkey in those years. These films have testified the cultural identity quests of Turkey that was upon the tension between Eastern-Western and they have also embodied these quests through stereotypes, events, states and spaces. Yeşilçam which resolve social duality by carrying it in nuclear family have been criticized on the issue that they went far the reality and deceived the public through causing to forget problems of country. However, they have a naive answer and an agreeable opinion on the search of cultural identity almost in all: “confrontation with the West does not mean to lose our faith, moral and essence; a synthesis is possible”.
