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.

In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).
José Sancho does not conceal the voluptuousness of his female torsos; he highlights it. These torsos are symmetrical from front, but on the other hand, from the side, the juxtaposition of concave and convex forms creates dynamism.
