The actor will be one of the international stars visiting Cadiz in 2024 and will be recognized with one of the “International Honorary SISF Member Awards” that will be presented at this edition.
Thursday, September 12, 2024. The second edition of South International Series Festival will count with the international presence of great referents in the creation, interpretation and production of series, such as the renowned Turkish actor Can Yaman .
One of the actor’s new projects is Sandokan, an international co-production by Lux Vide in collaboration with Rai Fiction.
The series is a new adaptation of the historical saga directed by Jan Maria Michelini and Nicola Abbatangelo.
It will be broadcast on Rai1 and distributed worldwide by Fremantle and in our country by Mediterráneo Mediaset España. In the new version of the novel by Emilio Salgari, Can Yaman da life to the adventurous pirate.
Curiously, part of the inspiration for Salgari’s historical character was the figure of a man from Cádiz, Carlos Cuarteroni Fernández.
Can Yaman has also starred in the Turkish series Dolunay -Full Moon-, Bay Yanlış -Wrong Man- and Erkenci Kuş -Dreaming Bird-.
The latter won him a Golden Butterfly Award for best romantic comedy actor.
And since then he has not stopped adding recognitions to his biography.
Other highlights include the international series “El Turco” and the two seasons of the Italian series “Viola come il Mare” produced by Lux Vide and broadcast by Mediaset Italia, which was a great success in the second window on Netflix.
In recent years, major commercial firms have bet on the actor as their image and his popularity has been growing along with his roles in television series recognized by the international industry. He is also known for his charitable side, especially for his support to the little ones with his charity project ‘Break the Wall Tour’, which takes him to visit places where children and adolescents with problems are cared for. With all this, the Turkish actor will be one of the international stars visiting South in 2024 and will be recognized by the festival with one of the “International Honorary SISF Member Award” that will be presented in this edition.
South International Series Festival is a private initiative, co-financed by the Feder Andalucía 2021-2027 Program and the Junta de Andalucía, with the City Council of Cádiz and the Diputación de Cádiz as official entities .
