"Taş Tepeler – Karahantepe Documentary" is a documentary about Karahantepe, which is thought to be even older than Göbeklitepe, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and is located right next to this region.

Shedding Light on Unknown Regions Is Important

Ahmet Bikic stated that shooting Karahantepe, a lesser-known spot, rather than Göbeklitepe, which has managed to attract the attention of the world and is a scientifically very important region, is more suitable for his approach to the documentary genre. For this reason, he said that it is very valuable to make a film by shedding light on a lesser-known region instead of an already known region and then being a finalist in international film festivals.
We congratulate the Lecturer/Director Ahmet Bikic for his success and wish him more good news.
