Pera Film is kicking off the summer season with On the Beach! Presented in conjunction with Pera Museum and Istanbul Research Institute’s Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure: Nostalgia from Sea Baths to Beaches, an exhibition exploring a nostalgic story while also addressing the change and socialization of the norms of how Istanbulites used their free time. Pera Film’s On the Beach journeys through the layered meanings of the beach and its representation on celluloid.
On the Beach elucidates that the beach does not only represent a romantic stance and moments of pleasure and fun, but it may also reflect a darker side to summer holidays. In addition to cinema classics such as Pauline at the Beach and A Summer's Tale by French New Wave director Éric Rohmer, L’Avventura by Michelangelo Antonioni, Mr. Hulot’s Holiday by Jacques Tati and Bonjour Tristesse by Otto Preminger, the program also features recent productions such as Asghar Farhadi's About Elly, Ulrich Seidl's Paradise: Love and Yorgos Lanthimos’s Kinetta.
This program’s screenings are free of admissions. Drop in, no reservations.

The Bosphorus, which divides the city from north to south, separates two continents, renders Istanbul distinct for western painters, offers the most picturesque spectacles for western artists.
The various states of viewing nudity entered the Ottoman world on postcards before paintings. These postcards appeared in the 1890s, and became widespread in the 1910s, following the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, traveling from hand to hand, city to city.
The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
