Also art effects many communities that are close to or far from each other. From this point of view, as an Asia rooted traditional form of art, ¡°shadow play¡± can be observed with similar characteristics in many different communities. In terms of its stylistics, shadow play is attributed to cinema as well, is also known as ¡°Karag£¿z shadow play¡± in Turkish community. In addition, Karag£¿z shadow play is considered as a significant performance art because it includes the ideas of mysticism. Orta Oyunu as an example of a prevailing genre of traditional performing arts in Turkish culture, contain similar characteristics with Karag£¿z shadow play. Turkish traditional arts have affected Turkish Cinema in several eras. Foremost, some directors like Halit Refi£¿, At£¿f Y£¿lmaz, Metin Erksan, Dervi£¿ Zaim, Yavuz Turgul have emphasised on the significance of traditional Turkish arts as a source for Turkish Cinema in terms of their form and content.
