Anadolu’nun kadim yerleşim alanlarından olan Şebinkarahisar, tarih boyu serhat şehri olması dolayısıyla askerî, ticarî ve idarî bakımdan sürekli dikkat çekmiş, ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu özelliği sebebiyle şehrin çekirdeğini teşkil eden kale başta olmak üzere resmî, ticarî veya sivil yaşama ait çok sayıda yapı inşa edilmiştir.

While some members of the audience can appreciate a movie without being distracted by historical inaccuracies, other viewers are more discerning. From revered classics like Gone with the Wind to recent award winners like Argo, Hollywood films often are taken to task for their loose adherence to the facts. But what obligation do filmmakers have to the truth when trying to create a two-hour piece of entertainment? In Bringing History to Life through Film: The Art of Cinematic Storytelling, Kathryn Anne Morey brings together essays that explore the controversial issue of film...
