The BRUKAN Film Advertisement Production Organisation was founded in 2000 with the aim of making good films. For the last two years the company has worked on creating production conditions for its first cinema project, ”Brukan”.

“Brukan” aims to take a special place in world cinema and has been created as a result of careful and long research into the migration experienced in the 1600s.

The project will not only describe the migration that changed Brukan history 400 years ago in the area of Diyarbakir; it also aims to add a new breath, movement and viewpoint to Turkish cinema, culture and art.

“Brukan” holds a mirror to a migration legend that extends from the past to now: 400 years ago, the Brukan were a peaceful nomadic people who lived in honour and had no problems with the Ottoman government. However, when one Ottoman commander abused his position, a migration was started which was to last hundreds of years and was to be full of homesickness and countless suffering.

The continuous and fast migration plot also includes a love story that matches the story of the tribe.

The migration starts in autumn and continues during the difficult conditions of winter. With the death of the tribal leader Şemdin Bey in spring, the journey of the tribe is brought to a vital turning point.
