Pera Film is celebrating National Sovereignty and Children's Day with a short but sweet program rejoicing originality and creativity. Power of My Imagination! captures three different characters – Little Nicholas, Courgette (Zucchini) and Ofelia. Based on French author Rene Goscinny’s (who also wrote the series Asterix and Lucky Luke) novel, Nicholas on Holiday tells the story of Nicholas and his family as they set off to the seaside for a summer vacation, and the result is a film filled with rich humor, moments of childhood nostalgia, hilarious blunders and misunderstandings across three generations. Nominated for the Best Animated Feature at the 89th Academy Awards in 2016, My Life as a Courgette is a Swiss-French animated comedy-drama brought to life through striking character designs and expressive stop-motion animation; the story soars with laughter, sorrow, and joy, and stands as a testament to the resilience of the human heart. Nine-year-old Zucchini learns to trust and love, as he searches for a new family of his own. Set five years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, Pan’s Labyrinth encapsulates the rich visual style and genre-defying craft of Guillermo del Toro. This fantasy-drama set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War explores the strange journeys of an imaginative young girl, Ofelia who may be the mythical princess of an underground kingdom. While out exploring one night, Ofelia stumbles upon the lair of the faun god Pan. The encounter leads her into a world of magical adventures, fantastical creatures, and secret destinies. As Carl Sagan articulately points out “Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.” Power of My Imagination! hopes to carry children, teens and adults into new, genuine, and exciting worlds.

Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
The exhibition Look at Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection examines portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Through the exhibition we will be sharing about the artists and sections in Look At Me!. This time we are sharing about Janine Antoni , exhibited under the section “The Conventions of Identitiy”!
In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).
