Murat Ertel

Filmmaker Hermann Vaske explores the creative Balkan world in the hopes of understanding the meaning of "Balkan spirit".

A live documentary experience built around archival footage of the 90s psychedelic band ZeN and their 1996 concert at Cihangir Park. Directed by Elif Dizdaroğlu, the event evolved into a layered performance through Murat Ertel’s improvised talk and music. Blending archival footage with live Q&A and performance, the night collapsed the distance between past and present audiences. Now available on Postbellek, the project became a collective trip back into the spirit of the 90s.

Constantly flying is a feature documentary about BaBa ZuLa, one of the most important Turkish psychedelic bands. A film about music, psychedelia and more in Istanbul.
