Queer Art in Turkey
In the last 30 years several Turkish movies with gay & lesbian concepts have been produced and shown in movie theaters. In the 1990's the most popular movie for the Turkish gay community was Bagno Turco (aka Hamam / Steam) Although it is an Italian production, the director and majority of the cast are Turkish. In 2011 the movie called Zenne / Dancer became the Brokeback Mountain of Turkey, by winning the best film prize in the most reputable film festival of Turkey- Golden Orange Antalya Film Festival.
