After the first category was completed, filming of the best scenarios recently took place in the historical city of Bursa, the first Ottoman capital.
Among the shooting locations were the Ortaköy Caravanserai in Inegöl district, Karacabey Floodplain Forest, the 700-year-old Cumalıkızık Village, Issız Han (Inn) in Karacabey and the Gelemiç neighborhood in Keles district.
Ali Ayyıldız, who has contributed to numerous TV series to date, is directing the movies and a cast of 105 people take part in the filming.
Eda Sürmeli, the head of the festival committee and the Competent Art Cinema and Culture Association, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that 2021 is the year of health care professionals, thus they focused on the doctors of the golden age of Islam at the festival.
Stating that Bursa offers great opportunities for shooting, Sürmeli said: "There are many unseen and unexplored natural beauties here. We bring them to the big screen. For instance, there are very beatiful bazaars and inns in Bursa as it was the capital of the Ottoman Empire. We have turned them into a movie set. We also shot in Cumalıkızık village, which is a UNESCO heritage site. Our cast is surprised when they see the shooting locations in nature. As a team, we can get into the spirit of old years thanks to these locations. Therefore, some great films are coming."
