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.

Based on similar examples by the European painters in various collections, this work is one of the portraits of Mihrimah Sultan, who was depicted rather often in the 16th century.
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.
Our Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition focuses on different generations of artists and art groups from the Balkan region. Throughout the exhibition, we keep sharing detailed information about the artworks. Take a look at Mark Požlep’s “Stranger than Paradise” video installation. Also you can check our interview with the artist on our YouTube channel!
