DETAILS

A short film adaptation from the fames book Kalila Wa Dimna - The Door of Dove, Fox and Snow Egret. We were inspired from this folklore story and created 3D characters from Arabic calligraphy with stylized 2D environment inspired by Islamic art of that area.

“I have Always been fascinated by Arab and Islamic art and literature. (The man, who consider opinions for others and cannot see for himself) it's a sermon I raid and got inspired from the famous book Kalila Wa Dimna: The chapter of Dove, Fox, and Snow Egret, which use animals as a sample to tell human moral stories. I want to present it in the way I pictured while reading the story. I created the characters from Arabic calligraphy using their names and representative figure from the story, then turning them into 3D sculptors which was not been done before to be seen from all sides as a piece of art was the hardest part in the process. While the atmosphere been inspired from Islamic Monitors.”
