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.

Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
Our Doublethink Double vision exhibition’s title alludes to George Orwell’s seminal work 1984 and presents a selection that includes Tracey Emin, Marcel Dzama, Anselm Kiefer, Bruce Nauman, Raymond Pettibon, and Thomas Ruff, as well as Turkish artists, tracing the steps of pluralistic thought through works of art.
Suggesting alternative models for new social and economic systems, SUPERFLEX works appear before us as energy systems, beverages, sculptures, copies, hypnosis sessions, infrastructure, paintings, plant nurseries, contracts, or specifically designed public spaces.
