Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University is a stakeholder in an important project implemented by Sakarya University and supported by the TÜBİTAK 3501 program. The project titled "Analysis of Istanbul in Films with Cinematic Cartography in the Context of Cinema and City Relationship", implemented by Sakarya University Faculty of Communication Assistant Professor Ayşe Gül Toprak Ökmen, will examine the cinematic geography of Istanbul and deeply analyze the spatial use and periodic meanings of the city in Turkish Cinema. The project, which is at the intersection of fields such as cinema, city, geography and cultural studies, aims to visualize the spatial transformation of the city with digital maps by combining Istanbul's historical and cultural riches with cinematic images in films.
