With our productions in over 50 countries, we have brought many different parts of the world to screens. In our documentary "10'ların Kıtası" (Continent of Number 10s), presented by Aslı Pelit, we blended South America's rich culture, local flavors, and history with football, interviewing star players from Rivaldo to Neymar, and joining fan groups in every derby. This multifaceted cultural and sports program reached Turkish audiences for more than 60 weeks.
With "Road to Istanbul," presented by national tennis player İpek Şenoğlu, we attended major tournaments like Wimbledon and the US Open, covering different stages of the WTA Tennis Tournament in each episode. Through İpek's intimate conversations with world stars both on and off the court, we presented the world's best rackets to sports enthusiasts from a different perspective.
We created many groundbreaking visual journeys, including "Photo Traveler," which explored Africa, Europe, and Asia through the lens of photographer Niko Guido, and "A Frame for Life: Haiti," a documentary based on the photographs Niko Guido took after the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
In our documentary "Tempest at Crossroads" (originally titled "Orta Dünya Fırtınası"), presented by Alican Ayanlar, we conducted shoots across a wide geography from European capitals like London and Paris to the streets of Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. This comprehensive production, prepared in English and featuring many local languages including Arabic in interviews, deeply traced the Arab uprisings that swept the Middle East.
Our feature film "Zerre/The Particle" was screened in 30 countries. We won many awards from national and international festivals, including the "Golden Saint George," the grand prize at the 35th Moscow International Film Festival.
With actor Kıvanç Kasabalı, we traveled to Turkey's most remote villages for 52 episodes of the documentary "Şehirden Uzakta" (Away from the City), testing whether the dream of building a life outside the city is as appealing as it seems from a distance. This production offered a realistic perspective for those wanting to escape city life while also revealing the details and challenges of rural living.
In our documentary "İzler Suretler" (Traces Forms), broadcast on TRT 2 Art channel, we participated in the production processes of contemporary Turkish photographers, exploring the deep connections between artists and their works. For 26 episodes, we presented viewers with the intricacies of photographic art and the unique approaches of artists.
With our documentaries "Annem'den Uzakta" (Away from My Mother) and "Rikki'nin Türkiye Rotası" (Rikki's Turkey Route), presented by American traveler Rikki Lee Roath, we revealed Turkey's lesser-known geographies and flavors, reflecting our country's rich cultural heritage from a foreign perspective.
With the documentary "Son Toplayıcılar" (The Last Gatherers), we told the extraordinary and impressive life stories of people who make their living by gathering in challenging geographies across Turkey, from those collecting frogs in swamps at night to those collecting bat guano in caves. This production documented ancient professions facing extinction in the modern world and the struggles of people living in harmony with nature.
We continue to produce international-scale cinema and documentary projects, working with imagination and passion.
