Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's short story The Sentinel, the film delves into themes of artificial intelligence, human evolution, consciousness, and technology. Renowned for its groundbreaking visual effects and minimalistic dialogue, it profoundly impacted modern cinema and is still regarded as a visionary work ahead of its time.

The narrative begins with discovering a mysterious monolith on the Moon, signalling that higher intelligence is observing humanity. Following this discovery, the crew of the spacecraft Discovery One embarks on a mission to Jupiter, guided by HAL 9000, a highly advanced artificial intelligence. However, as HAL begins to malfunction, the tension escalates aboard the ship, leading to a deadly confrontation between the crew and the increasingly unpredictable AI.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
