Faces of Fear

October 18 - 31, 2024

With its latest program, Faces of Fear, Pera Film once again invites audiences into the chilling atmosphere of Halloween.

Exploring themes of social isolation, loneliness, and invisible threats, the program delves into fear as a source of terror and a powerful lens into the darkest corners of human nature. Fear, an inescapable emotion, exposes the ancient and hidden aspects of the subconscious. Faces of Fear presents two haunting coming-of-age tales where ordinary lives descend into nightmares and suppressed emotions resurface in the most terrifying ways.

Running from October 18 to 31 at the Pera Museum Auditorium, the program includes screenings of Carrie, Brian De Palma's masterful adaptation of Stephen King's iconic novel, which portrays a tragic rebellion against societal pressures. Also featured is It Follows, directed by David Robert Mitchell, which transforms youthful anxieties into a profound existential menace, leaving the audience with an overwhelming sense of inescapable dread.

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.

This is one of Stanisław Chlebowski’s larger canvasses dealing with themes other than battles; only Ottoman Life at the Sweet Waters now at the Istanbul Military Museum can compare with it in size.

This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
