Turkish artist highlights film’s role in diplomacy
(MENAFN) Films have served as instruments of diplomacy since the camera’s invention, Turkish musician and composer Burak Saygili said Friday at the Film Diplomacy Conference 2025 in Istanbul.
As stated by reports, Saygili explained that “Hollywood cinema, like other cinemas, uses cinema and the camera as a diplomatic tool.” He pointed to movies such as The Pianist, Schindler's List, and Inglourious Basterds as examples of films highlighting the Holocaust and the atrocities committed by Hitler.
Saygili noted that the camera’s invention revolutionized communication, rendering written text less central, and now the traditional big screen is increasingly challenged by advanced digital channels. “If we are going to say something in the field of diplomacy, we must definitely do something related to digital channels,” he added.
He also cautioned against cultural imperialism, highlighting that Hollywood productions often homogenize content consumed worldwide. “Cultural diplomacy should not turn into cultural imperialism. Cultures should develop with each other, but we should not impose one culture on another,” he emphasized.
