Film Production in Kars
Turkey's atmospheric frontier where Russian architecture meets ancient Armenian ruins. Harsh winters and dramatic landscapes create unforgettable cinematic backdrops.
Why Kars with CAVEA FILM?
Kars offers Turkey's most atmospheric and cinematic frontier setting, where 19th-century Russian architecture creates a unique European atmosphere in Eastern Anatolia. The nearby ruins of Ani, once a great Armenian capital, provide hauntingly beautiful medieval backdrops impossible to find elsewhere.
CAVEA FILM specializes in extreme weather and remote location filming in Kars. Our cold-weather equipment and experienced local crews handle harsh winter conditions professionally. The city's distinctive Russian grid layout and stone buildings create European period atmospheres without leaving Turkey, significantly reducing production costs.
