Tarihi Alanların Filmler Aracılığıyla Sunumu: Sinemasal Bir Kent Ait Ben Haddou Örneği

Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Morocco, has been leveraged as a high-value destination in global film production, significantly boosting its cultural and economic significance. The study reveals that the site's portrayal in films—particularly in popular series like 'Game of Thrones'—enhances its promotional value, aligning with the growing trend of using cinema to highlight historical areas in an era of globalization. While the research confirms Ait Ben Haddou's long-standing presence in film (since the 1950s), it also examines the tension between fictional narratives and the site's authentic historical representation. The analysis combines theoretical frameworks on filmic representation with a chronological review of the site's appearances in cinema, offering insights into how visual media shapes public perception of heritage destinations.
