In his opening speech, Prof. Dr. Süleyman Kızıltoprak noted that the opening lecture event of the Faculty of Fine Arts started with a very important discussion and stated that students would gain significant insights from the experiences shared by guest İsmail Fidan.

Sharing his experiences with the participants and providing information about a career in animation, Rafadan Tayfa Film Director İsmail Fidan expressed that animation has a universal aspect as it appeals to audiences of all ages. He mentioned that Rafadan Tayfa is the most-watched local and foreign animation in Turkey, and that the production has been requested from many countries, especially the United States. İsmail Fidan stated, “Rafadan Tayfa has become a work that transcends national borders. The greatest success in this is the fact that this film is the most-watched animation series in Turkey. Because it is not very possible for a work that does not exist locally to be recognized on a global scale.”

Fidan emphasized that the character design, voice acting, and scriptwriting of Rafadan Tayfa is a result of significant teamwork and informed students about career opportunities in the industry.

After the promotional video of Rafadan Tayfa, a question-and-answer session was held, and the event concluded with a group photo.
