Pera Film, in collaboration with Altyazı Cinema Magazine and curated by Aslı Ildır, presents the film program Cinéma Vérité: The Truth of the Camera.
Cinéma Vérité, the same as Soviet filmmaker Dziga Vertov's term Kino Pravda, is a kind of "truth of cinema experiment" that first emerged with Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin's Chronicle of a Summer. This movement, in which the presence of the camera is felt and intervenes and changes what happens in the frame, and in which the director interacts with the participants and asks them questions, aims to question the reality that the camera constructs and represents, or the "truth of cinema". The selection includes both classic and later examples of the movement, with films from the US and France, as well as Mexico and Chile.
Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be obtained from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. In accordance with legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

Pera Film, within the scope of the Cinéma Vérité: The Truth of the Camera film program, is conducting an conversation with documentary filmmaker and academician Can Candan, moderated by film critic Aslı Ildır.
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.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
