Film Audience in the 100th Anniversary of the Republic

PROJECT

This project approaches the audience’s identity from sociological and industrial perspective by focusing on identifying the audience in the terms of cinemagoing as a cultural practice, film preferences and tastes in the context of changing film viewing practices. This project aims to conceptualize the audience beyond the industrial concerns, explain how they emerged, the diversities within them, the shifting film viewing channels, the relation they establish with cinema in terms of place, the decisiveness of the audience’s state of cultural aspects and class along with discovering their predispositions and expectations towards cinema. The study will be able to also present the distinctions and similarities with the audiences within different periods of time in the twentieth century while defining the audience of the twenty first century. This project is authentic in terms of handling the audience of the twenty first century in a comprehensive sense. The collected data will be interpreted and evaluated with Bourdieu’s set of notions and correspondence analysis will be implemented.
