Pera Film dedicates its program to Halloween, a celebration rooted in Pagan traditions and has found its place in contemporary socio-cultural life: Rhythmic Nightmares.
The unloved sibling of dreams, the callous cousin of imagination, the unsettling path of reconciling with the darkness of life lies in the subconscious: nightmares. Pera Film's special selection for Halloween delves into stories that draw us into their dark aesthetics, malevolent music, and dance.
In this mini-program, from October 24th to 31st, you will find the cult classics that are milestones in horror cinema, featuring a deep crimson aesthetic and extraordinary stage designs. These include Suspiria, a European nightmare painted in deep red, which narrates the terrifying experiences of Suzy, an American dance student, after arriving as a boarding student at a famous dance school in Germany. Also, you'll encounter The Rocky Horror Picture Show, hailed as a tribute to B-movies and directed by Jim Sharman.
Tickets are available at Biletix and the museum. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
