Only Blockbusters Left Alive: Monopolizing Film Distribution in Turkey

Only Blockbusters Left Alive: Monopolizing Film Distribution in Turkey

46 mins | Documentary | April 10, 2016

Turkish film industry has been experiencing a breakthrough in the last ten years. According to 2015 figures, there is a bold uptrend in terms of viewers and film production. Yet without any regulations at work, this growth only made injustices in distribution bigger. While a single cinema chain controls more then 50% of the market, it also started to control distribution and production. In this monopolized environment, there seems to be no country for independent production. With the guidance of producers, distributors, and economists, the film traces the distortion created by the bad economy that has become an obstacle for freedom of choice.
