A Deconstructor in Yeşilçam Period: Alp Zeki Heper

Yeşilçam Period, which left its mark on a period, is a mirror of its period with its hundreds of examples. Although many films have been made during this period, the form and content of the films are widely discussed and the failure of the films to come out of certain patterns has caused problems such as the inability of creative directors and works to emerge and the disappearance of various talents. The aim of this study is to examine the reasons of this situation by using the Deconstruction Theory of the French thinker Jacques Derrida with the films of Alp Zeki Heper, the unaccepted director of the period, to deconstruct the Yeşilçam Period and reveal the current thinking style. In this context, the Yeşilçam Period was discussed through Derrida's theory and Alp Zeki Heper films were examined in detail. The problems of Yeşilçam have been put forward through the problems Heper had. As a result, it was concluded that Alp Zeki Heper produced films with art concerns in form and content and his films were not accepted because of the perspective of the films of the period.
