Istanbul Modern Cinema initiates a new project titled “Masters of Cinema in Turkey”. The first guest for this series, which is devoted to founding directors of cinema in Turkey, is Lütfi Akad, who has come to be known as the “masterless master” and is a pioneer of the period referred to as the “Filmmakers’ Era” in the history of cinema in Turkey.

An archive exhibition will also be presented within the scope of the project commemorating the director’s 100th birthday. Taking a look at the cinema of Lütfi Akad, the exhibition which will be held in the cinema foyer brings together 100 pieces of archive material such as production stills, film stills, original scripts, and posters from Akad’s filmography that had not seen the light of day until now. A catalogue presenting visual archive material will also accompany the exhibition.
