معرفی
ERDİNÇ YILMAZ is an Assistant Professor at Gaziantep University's Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Film Design and Direction since 2022, specializing in cinema theory, sociology of film, and Turkish cinematic traditions. Previously, he served as a Lecturer in Foreign Languages at the same institution from 2012-2022.
His educational qualifications include:
- Doctorate (2017-2021) in Radio, Cinema and Television from Gazi University
- Master's (2015-2017) in Communication and Social Transformation from Gaziantep University
- Licence (2003-2008) in English Language and Literature from Hacettepe University
Yılmaz's research critically examines cinema through lenses of postmodern identity, dystopian narratives, and sociopolitical structures, with particular emphasis on Turkish cinema's evolution and global cinematic movements. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical film analysis, exploring how cinematic language constructs cultural identities and social realities.
His 14 recent publications (2019-2025) reveal consistent focus on narrative structures, aesthetic innovations, and sociopolitical commentary across Turkish and international cinema. Key trends include analysis of dystopian spaces, adaptation studies (e.g., Frankenstein narratives), and intersections of music with filmic resistance.
As an academic supervisor, Yılmaz has guided six master's theses covering AI in cinema, posthumanist feminism, and geopolitical narratives in film. He contributed to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism-supported 6th International Cinema and Philosophy Symposium (2023). His editorial roles include foreign language editing for SineFilozofi Journal and co-authoring 'Current Issues in the World of Cinema' (2024).
Yılmaz actively engages with cinematic practice through jury memberships at 10+ international film festivals (including Rotary and Dicle festivals) and participation in 28 artistic activities, predominantly photography exhibitions at Gaziantep University and cultural centers.
