However, globalisation facilitate the development of an alternative cinema culture against mainstream commercial cinema by virtueo f communication technologies. And the alternative film making and consumptiono f such films seem to have a similar structure all around the World when itcomes to the point o f being rebellious and anti-system. Although they are alldetermined by the same motivation, the emerging conditions, the historical andcultural developments o f alternative cinemas vary depending on the country.However, it is possible to say that they have many common points such as beinglow-budget, having contradictory issues, giving marginalized cultures thechance o f being represented, using the financial resources and distributionchannels out o f studios...etc. And all these common aspects exist due to thefact that alternative filmmakers in different countries communicate by virtue of developed and expanded communication technologies.
