About Us
As Tekden Film, which we established in 2010 under the umbrella of Tekden Group, we have successfully undertaken projects in the fields of television series, cinema, and documentaries. In this context, we took our first steps into cinema with "Ustalar, Alimler ve Sultanlar" and into the TV series industry with "Gönül Hırsızı." In 2014, we brought "Diriliş Ertuğrul" to the screen, a series that broke rating records every week, captured the hearts of not only Turkish audiences but also people from all around the world, and continues to attract great interest on digital platforms.
In 2015, we introduced our audience to "Aşkın Yolculuğu Yunus Emre," a highly acclaimed series that explores the spiritual journey of the great Turkish poet and Sufi Yunus Emre in the Tabduk Emre Dergah. We also brought "Aşkın Yolculuğu Hacı Bayram-ı Veli" to the screens, narrating the life of Hacı Bayram-ı Veli, one of Anatolia's spiritual figures. Additionally, with our project "Kızılelma: Bir Fetih Öyküsü," prepared for TRT's digital platform "TABİİ," we presented the childhood years of Fatih Sultan Mehmet and the process leading to the conquest of Istanbul under the guidance of his mentor Akşemseddin.
Among our ongoing projects is the Turkish-Dubai co-production TV series "1001 Nights."
Furthermore, our documentary drama project "Bilge Hekim: İbn Sina" is also in progress. In the field of cinema, we are bringing to life the fantastical film project "KUKLALAR: Yüzen Ağaçlar Ülkesi."
As Tekden Film, with our modern studios, talented team, and professional technical infrastructure, we will continue to produce high-quality projects and bring to the screen the rich heritage of our history and civilization.
