<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Turkish historiography has tended to describe Mustafa Kemal’s vision of cinema as too far ahead of his time and regarded him as a man whose ideas anticipated
the future. I argue that this interpretation is seriously misleading. It has torn Mustafa Kemal from his context, separating him from the cultural and social milieu in which he developed, the multicultural Ottoman Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. When Mustafa Kemal was still a young cadet, there was already a cinema culture in the empire, to which non-Muslims, particularly the Greek population made an important contribution. Yet, the Ottoman cinema was still limited to particular ethnic
groups, social classes and gender, and largely dependent upon a certain affinity with Western modernity. When Mustafa Kemal took the lead in the Independence War against the victorious Allies’ plan to partition the Ottoman Empire, he would use cinema not only
as an effective tool of communication but also as part of his modernization project. In this presentation, I will invite the audience to journey from his youth to his experience in the Greek-Turkish War in order to reveal the cultural significance of cinema
for him and its contribution to the creation of the “myth” of Mustafa Kemal. <o:p>
