Along with labour migration from Turkey, Turkish film culture has over the years established itself in West Berlin. Starting with screenings of Turkish films in Berlin cinemas, the video cassette then conquered the market in the 1980s. With film nights also becoming important family events, the video rental industry was booming. In addition to imported films from Turkey, films were also produced in Germany which examined the experiences of migration and questions of identity. This publication is dedicated to the re-discovery of the German-Turkish film and video culture which continues to shape the post-migrant society to this day
