The opening of the first Turkish cultural centre housing films from the archives and a cinema museum is scheduled for 2017. The project was initiated by Turkey’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism. It will consist of a film library, a cinema museum, a film laboratory, workshops and exhibition spaces, a room for major receptions and an outdoor cinema. Films made since the beginning of Turkish cinema will all be brought together under one roof: although 6,000 have been made, only 4,000 are still in existence. Owned by collectors and clubs, the originals will be preserved in the new museum. The goal is to restore the films and show them to the public.
