ReelLife Screening Series

November 16 - December 12, 2023

Pera Film welcomes the ReelLife screening series, an initiative presented in collaboration with the UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub and Columbia Global Centers | Istanbul.

Nothing brings you into an issue quite like seeing it. As everyday citizens and audiences, we are inundated by and oversaturated with information, but our knowledge is often limited. ReelLife screening series provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding through the lens of compelling stories and conversations.

Running from November 16 to December 12, the series of screenings will include Through the Night, which delves into the lives of individuals navigating the challenges of a 24-hour daycare center in the context of work culture; Landfall, a contemporary portrayal of Puerto Rico grappling with concurrent economic and environmental crises; and Delikado, set in one of the Philippines' burgeoning tourism destinations, exploring the intricate balance between economic development and environmental preservation.

Each screening will be followed by a discussion about the film and its social issues with filmmakers and experts. 

All films will be screened with Turkish and English subtitles. Post-screening discussions will be in English.

This program’s screenings are free admission. Drop in, no reservations. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.
