Sinematek/Sinema Evi

Sinematek/Cinema House which shares the same purpose with all other cinematheques around the world, works for protecting film heritage and disseminating film culture. A cultural institution which aims to serve as a bridge between the past and the present of cinema, it was established in 2018, under the roof of Kadıköy Municipality, by the initiative of Jak Şalom, a member of the founding team of Turkish Cinematheque Association which was established in 1965 and closed down after the military coup d’état on September 12th, 1980.
