We are producing a feature-length documentary that tells the full story of the Durupinar Noah's Ark site — from its discovery in 1959 to the latest geophysical research findings. The film will serve as the centerpiece of the on-site visitor center, giving every guest a thorough understanding of the evidence before they step outside to see the formation for themselves.
Principal footage was captured during our July 2025 expedition, with cameras rolling as the research team conducted GPR scans, collected soil samples, and documented the surrounding landscape. Aerial drone sequences capture the scale of the boat-shaped formation from above, while close-up interviews with researchers provide scientific context for each discovery.
The film is currently in post-production editing. Once the English version is complete, we plan to produce translations in Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, and additional languages so visitors from around the world can experience the documentary in their native tongue.
Film production, editing, and translation require significant resources. Every contribution brings us closer to completing the documentary and sharing it with visitors at the Durupinar site.
