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.

Berggren acquires the techniques of photography in Berlin and holds different jobs in various European cities before arriving in İstanbul. Initially en route to Marseille, he disembarks from his ship in 1866 and settles in İstanbul, where he is to spend the rest of his life.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
