Pera Film presents the Pride Month program i'm not afraid of anything, emphasizing the importance of individual identities and the richness of living beyond norms.
i'm not afraid of anything, which follows the stories of characters progressing fearlessly on their unique journeys, brings together two cult films that have become iconic with their inspiring stories, unforgettable music, mesmerizing stage performances, and dazzling costumes and makeup, connecting queer culture with mainstream cinema for a wider audience.
The program, held in the Pera Museum Auditorium from June 28 to July 10, features The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert celebrating its 30th anniversary. This film follows three drag queens' colorful and entertaining adventures in the Australian desert. Meanwhile, John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch portrays the compelling journey of Hedwig, who emigrates from Germany to the USA with dreams of becoming a rock star during the fall of the Berlin Wall.
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.

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
