Pera Film presents the Eternal Streets film program, organized in parallel with the exhibition On the Spot: Panoramic Gaze on Istanbul, a History.
Eternal Streets brings together five films from the 2000s that depict cities as living spaces hosting countless experiences, interpreting the exhibition's rich narrative from a universal perspective. The program, which progresses along a route extending from Istanbul to Tokyo, Taipei, Marseille, and Oslo, asks a universal question while questioning the permanent and inevitable roles of the cities where we live our lives: Is it possible to form genuine connections amidst crowds?
The program, taking place in the Pera Museum Auditorium from March 13 to April 5, includes films such as Hasret: Sehnsucht, which follows the trail of the feeling of “yearning” in the gloomy streets of Istanbul; Stray Dogs, experiencing the rainy landscapes of Taipei through the eyes of a homeless and vulnerable family; Transit, wandering the in-between spaces of a city caught between the past and the future; Oslo, August 31, which portrays the streets of a city as the silent witnesses of a young man's poignant journey; and Lost in Translation, a story about two strangers crossing paths under the neon lights of Tokyo.
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.

The exhibition aims to shed new light on the history of Istanbul’s representations through panoramic paintings and photographs. It critically approaches the history of the "panorama" and contextualizes its many iterations. While examining the layered relationships in the production and consumption of panoramic images, the exhibition also explores the circulation of these images among different audiences, their receptions, and the connections between various media that have gained popularity over centuries.
