Pera Film celebrates International Women's Day with the online screening of the award-winning film March 8, 2020: A Memoir.
Produced by Fırat Yücel and Aylin Kuryel, March 8, 2020: A Memoir explores what the "Touristic Cameras" overlooking Taksim Square left in the dark during the Feminist Night March in 2020. Through screenshots, the film travels in time to record the memory of the last mass action in Istanbul before the pandemic. Within the scope of the program, an online discussion held with the moderation of writer and academician Begüm Özden Fırat, featuring Fırat Yücel and Aylin Kuryel will also be available to access.
The film, which won the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2023 Istanbul Film Festival and the online discussion can be accessed via the Pera Museum's website from March 4 to March 11.
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
