Pervaneler Wraps Filming: Ata Demirer Film Opens 8 January
Ata Demirer's Pervaneler has finished shooting and opens in cinemas on 8 January 2027.
Filming of Pervaneler, the new Turkish comedy written by and starring Ata Demirer, has finished. Sabah reported on 13 November 2026 that behind-the-scenes footage from the set has been shared. The film is due in cinemas on 8 January 2027.
Hakan Algül directs the project. Demirer, one of Turkey’s best-known comedy writers and actors, wrote the script and takes the lead role.
Pervaneler cast and crew
Alongside Demirer, the cast includes Furkan Andıç, Algı Eke, Şifanur Gül, Ebru Cündübeyoğlu and Ali İpin. Other announced names include Ülkü Duru, Kübra Balcan and Cemil Büyükdöğerli.
Posta reported in September that the film is a BKM production. BKM (Beşiktaş Kültür Merkezi) is a well-known Turkish film company. According to that report, the film draws on everyday life and combines Demirer’s humour, his eye for observation and his distinctive characters.
Neither report gives plot details. The wrap announcement also does not say when the shoot ended.
From first day of shooting to cinemas
Posta reported that shooting began on 28 September. Local outlets reported that the shoot took place in Ayvalık, a coastal town on the Aegean. That puts the whole shoot at roughly six weeks, though the exact wrap date has not been confirmed.
The film now moves into editing and post-production. That is the normal next stage after principal photography, and the January release date remains the production’s stated target.
Why the film matters to Turkish comedy fans
Demirer is best known to audiences for writing and starring in his own comedies. Pervaneler is another film in which he writes and acts. Viewers of Turkish series will recognise some of the supporting names, since Turkish cinema and television often share talent.
The film’s trailer, plot and character details have not yet been released. Those details will show how Pervaneler fits into Demirer’s work. For now, the confirmed facts are the cast, the director, the producer and the 8 January 2027 date.
