Can You Hear the Djinn in the Trees? is an experimental stopmotion animation and is intended to be the first installment of a larger series of the same name. The first volume follows five characters in a mythical valley of a long-gone era, hidden in the mountains of the Arabian Peninsula. The series exists within a rich tapestry of symbolism, inanimate objects, and wonderful, strange characters and creatures. The story echos the poetic nature of Bedouin oral storytelling as well as reassembles and restructures several plots from Pre-Islamic Arabian folklore, while the visual aesthetics are drawn from various indigenous, mythological, anthropological, and archaeological references of Arabian cultures.
