Reha Erdem cinema in the context of auteur theory

Cinema, which extends to the present day with the development of the French film industries, also causes the birth of the New Wave French cinema. With the Auteur theory, which emerged as a theory within the New Wave French cinema, it is also seen that cinema extends from the society to the individual. Filmmakers such as Truffaut, Godard and Resnais, especially Bazin, create a language of cinema that makes people think and question when they refer to the individual who remains the other in the face of society. Therefore, cinema, which was reborn in France with the Auteur theory, reveals Auteur cinema and its directors with this innovative understanding. Auteur cinema, which continues to develop in the world, constitutes the New Era Turkish cinema in Turkey. Reha Erdem, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Zeki Demirkubuz, Yeşim Ustaoğlu, Semih Kaplanoğlu and Derviş Zaim are some of the auteur directors of New Era Turkish cinema.
