That's the title our Director, Ahmed Sarym came up with.
"Rumi's Protégée", a lot of thought went into making the film title.
The main source of inspiration has to be the 13th century poet and philosopher, "Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī". The "Sema" is a famous Sufism ritual and dance that originated from the hammering of a goldsmith.
Rumi was once approaching a goldsmith and the sound of a hammer felt melodic to him. It caused him to feel dizziness after doing a whirling dance synced with the "melody" of the hammer. The dizziness caused Rumi to fall into a trance and become ecstatic. Soon, the sound of the hammering gold vanished and all that was left was this sense of spirituality.
The Sema and Rumi play a large role in our film project as the protagonist of our film opening will be shown as a reborn apprentice of Rumi that uses a variant of the Sema to lose himself into a trance and transport to his imaginary world
