Fuat Uzkınay
Fuat Uzkınay (b. 1888 - Istanbul, d. 29 March 1956 - Istanbul) was the first Turkish filmmaker. After finishing Istanbul Highschool, he took physics and chemistry classes at Istanbul University. While he started to work at a high school as a principal, there was a growing interest in cinema among the Ottomans. Uzkınay started to give lessons at his school in order to make his students familiar with cinema. Despite the fact that numerous cinemas existed in Istanbul, Uzkınay campaigned for the building of a Turkish-owned cinema, which opened on 19 March 1914. The name, "The National Cinema", would change later to "Ali Efendi sineması". Meanwhile, he learned to use the projector from Sigmund Weinberg, who was the first man to introduce the cinema to the Ottomans. While in the army, on 14 November 1914 he made the documentary film ''"Ayastefanos'taki Rus Abidesinin Yıkılışı"'', depicting the destruction of the Russian Monument at Ayastefanos.

Fictional Film
Narrative film, fictional film or fiction film is a motion picture that tells a fictional or fictionalized story, event or narrative. Commercial narrative films with running times of over an hour are often referred to as feature films, or feature-length films. The earliest narrative films, around the turn of the 20th century, were essentially filmed stage plays and for the first three or four decades these commercial productions drew heavily upon the centuries-old theatrical tradition. In this style of film, believable narratives and characters help convince the audience that the unfolding fiction is real. Lighting and camera movement, among other cinematic elements, have become increasingly important in these films. Great detail goes into the screenplays of narratives, as these films rarely deviate from the predetermined behaviours and lines of the classical style of screenplay writing to maintain a sense of realism. Actors must deliver dialogue and action in a believable way, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ayastefanos'taki Rus Abidesinin Yıkılışı
''Demolition of the Monument at San Stefano'' ( tr, Ayastefanos'taki Rus Abidesinin Yıkılışı) is a 1914 Turkish documentary film directed by former army officer Fuat Uzkınay. It is the oldest known Turkish-made film, with a length of 150 metres. The documentary showed the demolition of the Russian victory monument erected in San Stefano (the modern Yeşilköy quarter of Istanbul) after the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), which ended with the Treaty of San Stefano (following the Congress of Berlin in 1878 it was superseded by the Treaty of Berlin).
