Turkiye’s famous film studio where historical series are filmed, opens its doors

Türkiye’s Bozdag Film Studios in the Beykoz district of
Istanbul, where historical series are filmed, opened its doors to
visitors during the holiday that marks the end of the Muslim holy
month of Ramadan, Azernews reports, citing Anadolu
Agency.

Concerts, talks and equestrian shows will take place on
approximately 200 acres, with a bazaar that sells traditional
products, a glass workshop, opportunities to take pictures in
traditional clothing and areas for blacksmithing, all available for
visitors to enjoy.

The studio’s sites include the Inegol Castle, Urgenc Market,
Marmaracik Castle, Yenisehir Market, Kulucahisar Castle, Harzemshah
Palace, Sogut and Kayi Tribe areas.

At the studio a historical narrative will be presented to the
audience through the music culture of the Turkish world and special
equestrian shows until April 14.

Mehmet Bozdag, the head of Bozdag Film’s board of directors,
pointed out that many globally famous Turkish television series are
filmed in the studio.

Bozdag, who noted exporting the “Kurulus: Osman” series to 110
countries, told Anadolu: “These projects are not just about
exporting a series. They also mean teaching our culture,
civilization, and history around the world, sparking interest and
love for our civilization and history. We’ve been successful
worldwide.”

He highlighted that nearly 40 heads of state previously visited
Bozdag Film Studios and he expressed his long-standing dream of
opening the platform to viewers as is done in the US, allowing
visitors to experience historical worlds and take a journey through
history.

He noted a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic but mentioned
recent preparations for a grand opening during the Eid-al-Fitr — a
celebration that marks the end of Ramadan — including building a
significant entertainment center and showcasing one of the world’s
most important equestrian shows.

Bozdag highlighted the studio’s role as a key exporter of
Turkish culture, expressing happiness with the work.

He noted that the studio is open year-round and attracts
visitors globally, which requires careful planning to accommodate
everyone.
