                          High Noon in Samatya.

In his youth, Turkish actor and sportsman Cengiz Güçlü was a big fan
of the culture of the American Wild West, so 11 years ago he and some
friends working in the Turkish cinema sector established a club in the
Samatya neighborhood of Fatih, Istanbul. 

On Saturdays, Wild West films are viewed by club members who 
come from various walks of life but who all have a particular 
fondness for the American Wild West. 


Cengiz bey doing his best John Wayne impression.



















Appropriately, Samatya is in wild western Istanbul.
