"The Adventures of Prince Achmed," one of the earliest feature-length animated films, recreates the magical world of the Arabian Nights using light, shadow, and movement. Lotte Reiniger's meticulously cut silhouette figures move across multi-layered glass surfaces, creating a unique visual universe that ranges from flying horses to wizards, from fantastical creatures to faraway lands. The film, which tells the story of Prince Achmed's journey with his magical horse, is considered a cornerstone of animation cinema due to its sophisticated animation techniques, rhythm, and visual imagination, which far surpassed the technical capabilities of the time.

Founded in Istanbul in 1996, BaBa ZuLa is a unique musical ensemble that blends traditional Anatolian music with dub, electronic music, psychedelic rock, and improvisation. The group combines traditional instruments, electronic effects, and stage performance, creating a distinctive sound and performance style that expands music with visual and theatrical elements.
