Only Blockbusters Left Alive: Monopolizing Film Distribution in Turkey

This documentary highlights the significant changes in the Turkish film industry over the past decade, emphasizing a dramatic increase in viewers and film production. However, it also reveals the detrimental effects of a monopolized distribution system, where a single cinema chain dominates more than 50% of the market, controlling not just distribution but also production.

With insights from producers, distributors, and economists, the film illustrates how this monopolization has led to greater injustices in film distribution. By addressing the economic barriers that stifle independent filmmakers, it sheds light on the urgent need for regulations to ensure freedom of choice in cinema. The focus on vertical integration and its impact on the movie business provides a critical look at the current state of film in Turkey, making it relevant for those interested in the industry's evolution.
