Help Create the Official Noah’s Ark Film
The Durupinar Noah’s Ark site in eastern Turkey has fascinated explorers, researchers, and visitors for decades. Discovered in 1959 by Captain Ilhan Durupinar, this unique boat-shaped formation has become one of the most talked-about locations connected to the story of Noah’s Ark. Today, thousands of people travel here each year to experience the Ark’s story firsthand at the Durupinar Noah’s Ark Visitor Center.
Now, we are taking the next step: producing a new official Noah’s Ark short film in Turkish and English for the Visitor Center per the request of the government (other languages will follow). This will be more than a documentary—it will be an immersive experience that combines breathtaking footage of the mountains of Ararat, expert commentary from scientists and others, and inspiring storytelling that connects the ancient Biblical past with today’s world.
To make this vision a reality, we need your help. Creating a high-quality film requires professional equipment, production teams, and especially editing. The main parts of the film have already been captured on the ground in eastern Turkey in July of this year. Your support will ensure that every visitor who walks through the Visitor Center doors will see the real Noah’s Ark story come alive on screen—an experience that can inspire faith, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impact. By giving today, you become part of this impactful project.
