Cultural Post #5

[Zachary Stewart]

            For my cultural project, I want to learn about Turkish cinema. I did not realize it until recently how much I love watching movies. While I was studying Spanish more intensely, I would watch movies all the time so that I could practice my listening skills. I want to do the same with Turkish when I get to an intermediate level in the language. Cinema is not only a great way to learn about culture, but it is also a great way to learn about history. I intend to explore the history of cinema, identify what historic events has had an impact on Turkish cinema, and also create a list of movies to watch so that I could explore the art form. Also, I believe that I am going to learn a lot of new vocabulary and complex sentence structure while watching movies.
