The first science, art and culture institution in field of cinema is "Turkish Film&TV Institute", whose roots go back to "Club Cinema 7", the first cinema club founded in Turkey by Prof. Sami Şekeroğlu as part of Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts. The first film archive, the first cinema museum and the first cinema education started within this institution which was led by Prof. Sami Şekeroğlu.
After Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts turned into Mimar Sinan University, Turkish Film&TV Institute was restructured. The Institute has been maintaining its activities under the titles "Turkish Film&TV Institute" and "Department of Cinema-TV". The title "Turkish Film&TV Institute" is used for archive and film center at international relations.
Department of Cinema-TV utilizes all facilities of Turkish Film&TV Institute and is supported by it. It provides a unique education in field of cinema. The Department maintains its activities in accordance with the principle "Production within Education, Education within Production". Esteemed professionals from film sector and masters of Turkish film industry lead production workshops, teach theoretical and practical courses besides academicians as well.
Students are educated in line with the goal of bringing up academicians equipped with aesthetical, technical and theoretical knowledge to work for cinema-TV schools home and abroad. Students benefit from the film archive where more than 10 000 films are preserved and also participate in professional projects realized by Turkish Film&TV Institute.
