Mission & Strategy

As a department, we understand that going to university does not simply entail “receiving a diploma”; the studying period entails a process of creativity, of give and take where students are able to develop their skills and discover areas in which they take pleasure. With this understanding, we believe that students will be able to get in touch with their “creative souls”, and us, as academic staff, aim to provide all the resources and support necessary to provide a platform for this discovery to take place.
In our age of digitality, with the enhancement of new audio-visual technologies and increase in accessibility to filming equipment, young filmmaker of today is capacity and capability to express herself/himself freely and produce independently in her/his own artistic and executive ways. Film industries, forms and conventions changing continuously all over the world. Hence, our most important principle is to encourage our students discover the new and untouched areas of cinema and pushing the limits of filmmaking while experiencing the intercultural aspects of the art of post-modern era, cinema! On this wise, Cinema and Television Department of Istanbul Kultur University ties together academic and industry needs, through its technologically up to date labs and studios, and provides a universal education in the field of cinema, film studies and media & communication studies.
