Müslüm - The Father of Tormented
We produced an animated short telling the story of Turkish arabesque singer superstar Müslüm Gürses. The subject of academic curiosity and discussion, Müslüm Baba, as he was known, attracted a rabidly faithful audience that would descend into a state of euphoric melancholy and razor-inflicted self-harm. Seeped into a surreal narrative, the short film takes a trip into Papa Müslüm’s life of sadness and fortune, beginning in an old village hut and ending in the glamorous and harsh city of İstanbul.
