As part of the The Dream of the Avant-Garde program, presented in collaboration with Othon Cinema and the Österreichische Kulturforum Istanbul, Pera Film showcases a selection of films by American director Eve Heller. Following the screening of the short film selection titled Poetic Manipulations on the same day, a discussion with Eve Heller will take place.
About Eve Heller
Avant-garde filmmaker Eve Heller was born in the United States, where she worked with both first and second-generation American experimental filmmakers such as Paul Sharits, Tony Conrad, Abigail Child, Peggy Ahwesh, and Peter Hutton. Since the late 1970s, Heller has created works characterized by their complexity and a deep curiosity about the artistic possibilities of film, especially about dreams, memory, and time. Her films regularly premiere at the New York Film Festival's "Views from the Avant-Garde" before being shown internationally. Since 2005, Heller has lived and worked in Austria. In 2018, she received the Niederösterreich Culture Prize for her contributions to experimental film. Her most recent film, Singing in Oblivion, premiered at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2021 and won the prestigious Mehrwert Award at the Viennale in 2022. Following the death of pioneering "found footage" filmmaker Phil Solomon in 2019, Heller and curator Mark McElhatten launched the Phil Solomon Project, dedicated to preserving and promoting Solomon's artistic and intellectual legacy.
The talk will be in English with Turkish consecutive translation. Free admissions. Limited space, drop in, no reservations.
Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting.
