One of the rich sources of data in this field is the cinema, which bears the features of the seventh art through its products and massively popularizes its message and constitutes one of the important branches of the entertainment industry. In this study, the representation codes of the concept of fatherhood which is supposed to be a milestone of manhood and an indicator of the establishment of manhood for every man, that exist within Turkish cinema will have been analyzed. With reference to what the basic elements that reproduce the fatherhood in Turkish cinema are, the main cause of this study is to explore how the types of the representation of fatherhood occur within the sample movies. This study, moreover, seeks for an answer about what kind of a relationship exists between the father figure within the cultural structure of Turkish society and the representations of fatherhood that are presented in Turkish cinema.
