Everyday, small pieces of daily life are filmed, whatever the weather, whatever the mood and regardless of which city they’re filmed in; they form an opera of short stories and wider movements, a collective intimacy, shared with the outside world. Narimane Mari films urban spaces and those who set the scene in several cities across the world. Through her travels and wanderings, her appointments and shopping trips, the film captures the flâneurs and the workers, the movement that punctuates the narrative and form of cities. She looks at and lives through the everyday in order to extract their poetry and make it into a film, for which everyone can collectively create the sound.

Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
In the works of western painters, we encounter mosques as the primary architectural elements that reflect the identity of the city of Istanbul. Often we can recognize the depicted landscape as Istanbul simply from the mosques.
