The Turkish Foundation for Cinema and Audiovisual Culture (TÜRSAK) organizes the Yeşilçam Awards in order to support Turkey’s film industry. The name comes from a street in İstanbul, Yeşilçam Street, where Turkish film making companies had their offices between the 1950s and 1970s. Yeşilçam is also a symbol of the golden years of Turkey’s filmmaking industry.
