Abstract:

 Metin Erksan and his movies have a special role in the history of Turkish cinema. Since his first movies, he has produced different productions which have a language peculiar to him. With his extraordinary stance and mind, the director has always been the focus of discussions and has presented avant-garde works to Turkish cinema. Avant-garde, in other words, extraordinary, experimental, innovative productions have had profound effects in different periods since the invention of cinema. While evaluating Metin Erksan and his movies, five television movies Bir İntihar, Geçmiş Zaman Elbiseleri, Hanende Melek, Müthiş Bir Tren, and Sazlık which were made for TRT Turkish Radio and Television Corporation in 1973 drew attention in order to understand the directors aesthetic and innovative perspective. Metin Erksan made these movies without earning profit. Moreover, in these movies, he expressed himself successfully. These movies were regarded as the milestones of Turkish cinema and Metin Erksans filmography. This study will focus on the point of pioneering and experimental view of Metin Erksans movies and television movies he made for TRT and will be evaluated in terms of story, time, place, art direction, actor preference, and cinematography of the television movies.

 Metin Erksan ve sineması Türk sinema tarihinde kendine has bir yere sahiptir. İlk filmlerinden itibaren sinemamızda bir dil kurma istenciyle birbirinden farklı yapımlara imza atmıştır. Sıra dışı duruşuyla ve zihniyle sürekli tartışmaların odağında olan yönetmen, sinema kronolojimize de öncü ya da popüler tabirle avangart işler bağışlamıştır. Sinemanın icadından bugüne farklı dönemlerde avangart yani sıra dışı, deneysel, yenilikçi yapımlar sinema serüveninin seyrini değiştirmiştir. Metin Erksan ve sineması değerlendirilirken yönetmenin estetik ve yenilikçi tavrının daha iyi anlaşılması için 1973 yılında TRT için yaptığı beş öyküden uyarladığı beş televizyon filmi Bir İntihar, Geçmiş Zaman Elbisleri, Hanende Melek, Müthiş Bir Tren ve Sazlık de dikkati çekmektedir. Sanatçının kendini daha iyi ifade edebildiği ve maddi kaygı gütmeden motor dediği bu filmler hem sinema tarihimiz açısından hem de Metin Erksan filmografisi açısından dönüm noktasıdır. Çalışmada, Metin Erksan sineması ve TRT için yaptığı televizyon filmleri incelenirken yönetmenin öncü ve deneysel bakış açısına odaklanılacak ve bu bakış açısının televizyon filmlerinde nasıl ortaya çıktığı öykü, zaman, mekân, sanat yönetimi, oyuncu tercihi ve sinematografi açısından değerlendirilecektir.
