Pera Film is hosting DOCUMENTARIST 18^th Istanbul Documentary Days.

The program enters into a profound dialogue with the practices of Marcel Dzama while also highlighting the artistic richness and the avant-garde, surreal, and interdisciplinary creative spirit and artistic wealth that has shaped Belgian cinema since its earliest days.

Presenting a selection that invites reflection on the boundaries of seeing, recording, and interpreting, Photographer invites the viewer to question the nature of the gaze, the perception of reality, and the memory of the image.

The selection, exploring journeys that unfold not only across distances but also through time, memory, body, and identity, brings together works by pioneering female filmmakers Chantal Akerman, Jane Campion, Agnès Varda, Lucrecia Martel, Kelly Reichardt, and Payal Kapadia,  

Silent Journeys showcases a selection of popular Hungarian animations from recent years, including short animations Amok, Oliver the Giant, and Meditation at Dusk, which are known for their artistic depth and striking storytelling. 

Zeros and Ones bridges the relationship between algorithms in Vera Molnár's work and those of contemporary artists inspired by her with the groundbreaking algorithmic culture and digital art of The Matrix universe.
