GalataFilm set off with great dreams: to contribute significantly to a gradually growing Turkish cinema industry that now has a stronger reputation both within Turkey and abroad.

With the intention of unleashing new ground in a film industry that’s experiencing an age of growth, GalataFilm was founded by Taha Altaylı, Mustafa Karahan and Muharrem Gülmez, all coming together to unite their experience in finance and film.

The name GalataFilm derives not only from the suburb in Istanbul, but also the rooted and solid story of the Galatians, the resistant structure of Galata Tower, and the pioneering and courageous character of Hezarfen who flew from the same tower, over the Bosphorus Strait.

With the experience acquired during this short period and the unique talent, experience and know-how of its team, GalataFilm intends to blend Turkish and universal cinema standards, setting a benchmark for both itself and the industry, in terms of not only creativity, but also business models and work principles.
