The screening to be held at 24 November will be followed by a talk with Tomer Heymann, moderated by film critic Nil Kural.
The talk will be in English with simultaneous Turkish translation. Free admissions. Limited space, drop in, no reservations.

A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
