One of the protagonists of unusual and unconventional female roles and stories in the cinema of Turkey with the films she has acted in, Lale Mansur meets the audience within the scope of the 11th Pink Life QueerFest.
Renowned as a director of women's films in the 80s, Atıf Yılmaz also made LGBTI+ themed films in the 90s, which left their mark on those years, in tandem with the strengthening of the LGBTI+ movement and the development of queer theory. Not only the directors but also the female actors of that period, by carrying the influence of these strong images and the period itself, strengthened the place of the aforementioned films in the history of cinema. In addition to the strong and daring female roles she played, Lale Mansur has also carried her game-changing attitude in terms of her political stance and worldview until today.
We will have a conversation with Lale Mansur about the 80s’ and 90s’ cinema of Turkey and the fiery and daring Lale Mansur Cinema upon the screening of the film Walking After Midnight, one of the important examples of LGBTI+ themed films of the 90s. The conversation will be facilitated by QueerFest Director Gök Akyel and queer filmmaker, activist and director of the film Scenes I Imagine, Metin Akdemir.

The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment. Everything happened all of a sudden, but exactly like it was supposed to happen in our day. We thought of the idea of marriage simultaneously, we smiled simultaneously, blinking and opening our eyes in unison.
