Abstract
IT was such a revelation to discover Muslim scholar Said Nursi's insights into cinema upon reading an article on early film culture in Turkey by Canan Balan (2016), an assistant professor at Istanbul Şehir University.
Nursi (1877-1960), an influential Kurdish Sunni Muslim theologian concerned with modern Turkish history, inspired the hugely popular Nur movement.
His ideas and philosophies on a range of subjects draw on and synergise Islamic esoterism (Sufism) and Sunni Islam.
Nursi's writings on cinema (1911-1949) explore the ways in which our profound understanding of the fitrah (nature) of the medium can deepen our connection to the divine.
