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, and from fantastical creatures to distant 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 transcend the technical capabilities of the time. **About BaBa ZuLa:** 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, expanding music with visual and theatrical elements to create its own distinctive sound and performance language.
