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.

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
I walk over rocks hot as iron under the September sun. I can make out a few lines in the distance, and a few cracked rocks, but apart from those, not a single tree, not one plant
