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.
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 untill 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.
