Movie lovers stepping onto the large property of Korda Filmpark will be blown away by the expansive studios, sets and museum.

 

Tours of the studios include indoor and outdoor sets. The outdoor portion is filled with a variety of sets, like a replica of the Coliseum in Rome that is used for the TV production “The Borgias” and a replica of Manhattan that was used in “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army.”

 

The indoor section of the tour is a museum and is aimed at entertaining children and adults. There is an educational museum that begins with the life of its founder, Alexander Korda. The exhibits explain the life of the eccentric movie lover who felt more at home in hotels than in an actual home.

 

The museum’s focus broadens into a history of film. Old equipment is on display, including film reels and cameras. The museum begins its interactive displays with flipbooks that show how the first movies were created.

 

The interaction of the filmpark expands to include full-size interactive exhibits where tourists can experience the effects of optical illusions. Children would have fun playing with the toy boats that can move across the water, dodging simulated attacks, waves and stormy weather.

 

A green screen allows anyone to jump onto a motorcycle and ride down the highway, possibly with a severed head that is achieved with the use of a green cape.

 

The displays then change to educate people on how makeup and special effects can change a person’s face, like in a particularly gruesome sounding movie where a very large man kills people. The actor is not overweight, but the use of costumes and makeup make him appear heavier.

 

Besides the tour and museum, Korda Filmpark also includes a screening room, restaurant, sound studios and the world's larget underwater movie studios.

 

All ages and nationalities will have fun on a tour that seeks not only to educate, but also surprise its audience.
