Pera Film presents the Pride Month program As I Am, bringing together two landmark films from the 1990s independent cinema that highlight expressions of personal identity.
As I Am follows two characters who explore unspoken emotions, desire, and the need for belonging in different ways; moving from a search for everyday connection in black-and-white frames to a melancholic journey in pursuit of a lost past along the highways.
Screenings will take place from 28 June to 9 July at the Pera Museum Auditorium, featuring Go Fish, Rose Troche’s film about a young woman cautiously entering a new relationship while navigating her identity and desires; and My Own Private Idaho, directed by Gus Van Sant, which tells the story of Mike, a narcoleptic street hustler, and Scott, a man from a privileged background, as they travel in search of connection and meaning.
Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
