It can be seen that globalisation, which has contradictory dynamics and so, on the one hand helps local cultures to be visible on the other hand, causes cultural homogenisation by using transnationalisation as a discourse, results in Hollywood domination over all other national cinemas. However, globalisation facilitate the development o f an alternative cinema culture against mainstream commercial cinema by virtue o f communication technologies. And the alternative film making and consumption o f such films seem to have a similar structure all around the World when it comes to the point o f being rebellious and anti-system. Although they are all determined by the same motivation, the emerging conditions, the historical and cultural developments o f alternative cinemas vary depending on the country. However, it is possible to say that they have many common points such as being low-budget, having contradictory issues, giving marginalized cultures the chance o f being represented, using the financial resources and distribution channels out o f studios...etc. And all these common aspects exist due to the fact that alternative filmmakers in different countries communicate by virtue o f developed and expanded communication technologies. In this respect, this study aims to analyse the alternative cinema tradition in two countries chosen, Turkey and Britain, which are quite different from each other on the basis o f economical development level, cultural and historical features, in order to expose the similarities and differences. Because the former is representative o f developing countries and the latter o f developed ones Turkey and Britain are two important countries for such a comparative study. Besides, it is believed that they have many shared points by means o f globalised alternative cinema culture. İn accordance with this, this study focuses on production, distribution, exhibition and consumption practices o f alternative fılmmaking in the two countries from a comparative point o f view by analysing the most representative samples of alternative films in both countries.
