Istanbul Is One Of The Many Capitals In The World,

we would like to visit,


but that might be some way off, so I was delighted to find this whistle stop tour of the architectural sights of the city, 

the film comprises of 270 shots selected from about 2,900 photos, making the stop-motion animation,

it is the work of,

Syrian-German filmmaker and animator Waref Abu Quba,

titled “Takrar.” the film maker comments, “When I first visited Istanbul in 2021, I was captivated by its timeless beauty and decided to capture it through my lens,” Quba says, “Creating each frame of this film was an utter joy, and every new scene brought unexpected and beautiful surprises.” the film is set to a percussive track played by Robbe Kieckens at the direction of Alex Story, you can watch “Takrar” above, or better still to watch it full size have a look here, if only we could be there in person.
