Through a focused comparison of Nuri Bilge Ceylan and Zeki Demirkubuz, two of the most influential and internationally recognized figures in this movement, this article examines how their distinct directorial styles articulate the aesthetics of slowness. Both emerged in the 1990s as central figures in the post-Ye\u015fil\u00e7am cinematic landscape, yet their approaches differ markedly. Ceylan&#8217;s films employ rural landscapes, subdued rhythms, and interior stillness, while Demirkubuz crafts existential narratives in confined urban settings through stark realism and elliptical storytelling. Despite their stylistic differences, both directors adopt techniques associated with global slow cinema. This article argues that slowness in New Turkish Cinema functions not merely as a matter of pacing, but as a cinematic strategy for expressing cultural unease, offering a lens to reflect on memory and identity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 15px\"><strong>Keywords: <\/strong> New Turkish cinema, Slow cinema, Contemplative cinema, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Zeki Demirkubuz<\/p>\n<table bgcolor=\"transparent\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\">Z\u00fchre Canay G\u00fcven<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.29224\/insanveinsan.1658448\">DOI: 10.29224\/insanveinsan.1658448<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><a title=\"Issue 40, Summer 2025\" href=\"\/en\/sayi-40-yaz-2025\/\">Year 12, Issue 40, Summer 2025<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-119 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-e1407190133528.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\">Tam metin \/ Full text<br \/>\n(English)<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 230px;\">\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/izleme-icon.png\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 40px;\">[post-views]<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/indirme-icon.png\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 145px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><div class=\"sdm_download_count\"><span class=\"sdm_count_number\">359<\/span><span class=\"sdm_count_string\"> Downloads<\/span><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear: left;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"sdm_download_button_box_default\"><div class=\"sdm_download_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insanveinsan.org\/?sdm_process_download=1&download_id=5589\" class=\"sdm_download grey\" title=\"(Turkish) 40-3 Z\u00fchre Canay G\u00fcven\" target=&quot;_blank&quot;>Download Now!<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<table bgcolor=\"transparent\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"> <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-nc\/4.0\/80x15.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>This work is licensed under a <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Z\u00fchre Canay G\u00fcven Abstract: New Turkish Cinema embraces minimalist audio-visual elements, with long takes, contemplative narratives, and a mediated film experience that invites slow engagement and introspection.
