Presenting a selection that invites reflection on the boundaries of seeing, recording, and interpreting, Photographer invites the viewer to question the nature of the gaze, the perception of reality, and the memory of the image.
As part of the program prepared in parallel with the Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done” exhibition, documentaries about master photographers Sebastião Salgado, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Josef Koudelka, and Bill Cunningham — featured in Rifat’s photography book Akla Kara Arası (Between Black and White) — will be showcased, alongside two iconic fictional films that have left a lasting mark on cinema history.
Among the films to be screened at the Pera Museum Auditorium are: The Salt of the Earth, which traces Salgado’s journey from human tragedies to the natural world; Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Rear Window, where a photographer becomes entangled in a mystery; Michelangelo Antonioni’s masterpiece Blow-Up, centered around the trail of a randomly taken photograph; Koudelka: Crossing the Same River, accompanying legendary photographer Josef Koudelka’s explorations among the ancient ruins of the Mediterranean; and Bill Cunningham New York, focusing on the legendary New York fashion photographer.
Additionally, Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Impassioned Eye, focusing on Cartier-Bresson’s life and photographic vision, will be available for online screening on the Pera Museum’s website.
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.

Marcel Dzama’s connection to cinema forms the foundation of his entire work, from drawings to video pieces. The five films below stand out as key sources of inspiration that have shaped his narrative style.
A Salon exhibition held in the Grand Palais in Paris on May 1, 1906 showcased an Ottoman painting. This was Osman Hamdi Bey’s famous “Tortoise Trainer”.
Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
