"Aykırı Sinema Derneği" is a non-governmental organization that has been active since 2015 in the field of culture and arts in Bursa. We work to make culture and art and its education accessible to every segment of society. Our main target group is public people who want to have progress in the field of cinema included especially disadvantaged people who couldn't access to artistic activities.
W believe in the power of civil societypower. For this reason, we support the dissemination of human rights-based non-governmental organizations through
cinema. Bursa where our association resides is 4th biggest city of Turkey and 1,5 hour distance to the most crowded city Istanbul, consists of 3 central districts (Nilufer district is one of them which our association resides) and is a metropolis with its 4 million population. The city can be said is undeveloped in cultur and art area, which we are working in, comparative as other metropolitan cities. Therefore our essential target group from 7 to 70 everybody who has any interest about cinema, ut more specifically our main aim is make cultur and art can be reached for all segments of society. In this sense, people who doen’t have chance to reach cultur-art, especially cinema are is target groups.
Some of the festivals we organized during the four years;
-Worker Rights Film Festival,
-Sustainable Life Film Festival,
-Bursa International Film Days,
-Filmmor Women Rights Film Festival,
-International Short Movies Festival
Regular continuing education courses:
-Scriptwritting,
-Stop Motion Animation,
-Filmmaking,
-Documentary,
-World Cinema History
The processes used to plan and carry out these events are at least as important as the events themselves. Annual or
seasonal events such as festivals and interviews can be especially effective in communities with great social and ethnic
diversity. We designed ways to connect a wide range of people for the first time through our community-based cultural
organization. This process crossed ethnic boundaries and helped people celebrate together in a rapidly growing area of
cinema in Bursa. There are numerous arts and cultural organizations in our local community that offer exhibitions,
performances, and classes and an equal number of historic groups and sites. The our spectator follower collection of
doors symbolized the people and events that helped open the doors of diversity and opportunity for individuals and the
community. In order to specialise our way to make connections with our local community our activities in following:
-Workshops
-Film presentations and director interviews
-Film read activities
-Thematic subjects’ conections with cinema interviews
-Film, short film, animation making courses
-Special days awareness activities
-Old people rights, women rights, lgbti+ rights, children rights awareness activities
We would like to describe coomon values of our and ALF's and ALF Network members by explain how we see give labor to our functionalism.
We are summarizing our encourage based on 3 aspects: Reach to Disadvantageds, Creativity and Culture, Intercultural Learning.
1.Reach Disadvantageds
Our association is functioning in culture and art area and we describe one of our main aim as; make cultural and artistic activities can be reached for all segments of society. In this sense, our organisation efforts to be reached for less income individuals, youngs and children, who lives in rurals and doesn’t have chance to reach art-culture and cinema, disabled persons.
2.Creativity and Culture
One of the Aykırı Sinema’s biggest missions is become basis for individuals (especially youngs) who effort to accomplish their creations. To equip them with trainings and educations. Then helping them about participating in production by awareness of both indigenous and international heritage.
3.Intercultural Learning
As our functioning fields cinema and surely art are universal, by setting out from this point we are seeing intercultural learning as an important element that make creation enriched. Therefore in our all culture-art works, film screenings, interviews, we are doing our best for keeping our perspective on the internatioal eye. We believe the differences are wealth. Furthermore by cinema what is the most effective art field in todays’s world, we see as a debt to transfer universal values.
