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.

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
