- Abstract
The third cinema movement, which started to be seen in the third world countries, especially in Latin America since the 1960s, differs both aesthetically and thematically from the first cinema, also called American or Hollywood cinema, and the second cinema, also referred to as auteur or art cinema. Third filmmakers, who adopt a political attitude at its core, attach importance to the ideological function of cinema as a part of social change and use cinema as a weapon. The socialist approach in Turkish cinema that started in the 1960s paved the way for the emergence of the third cinema in Turkish cinema with the emergence of a new generation of filmmakers in the mid-1970s. Directors such as Yılmaz Güney, Şerif Gören, Zeki Ökten, Erden Kıral, Yavuz Özkan, and Şerif Gören emphasised the political language of cinema and produced films within this framework. However, among these filmmakers, it was Yavuz Özkan who came closest to the language of third cinema. By transforming the ideological function of cinema into a part of social transformation, Özkan aimed at the active participation of the audience and contributed to their awareness. In this context, this study aims to reveal the political elements in Yavuz Özkan's pre-1980 films with the method of ideological criticism. Özkan's first film Maden (1978) and his second film Demir Yol (1979) are the most important works of the period with their class-based approach and the most important films of the third cinema in Turkish cinema.
