The documentary "Kariye", which introduces an "art monument" of Istanbul with a history of 700 years, showcases the artistic features of the colorful paintings that adorn the galleries of the Kariye Mosque (Chora Church). While the documentary introduces Kariye (Chora), it carries "voices" from all cultures that have existed in and around it for 700 years. The film also interprets a cultural continuity and interaction ranging from Byzantine hymns to Orthodox prayers, from the call to prayer to Ottoman takbirs, with a distinct sound pattern.
Unfortunately the movie Kariye is not yet available on HBO Max.
