Pera Film presents the current film program, Somewhere Else, specially curated for International Women's Day on March 8.
Somewhere Else consists of six films that follow female characters' internal and external journeys as they transcend boundaries shaped by dreams, struggles, longing, and loss. The selection explores journeys that unfold not only across distances but also through time, memory, the body, and identity, bringing together works by pioneering female filmmakers Chantal Akerman, Jane Campion, Agnès Varda, Lucrecia Martel, Kelly Reichardt, and Payal Kapadia.
Taking place at the Pera Museum Auditorium from March 5 to 28, the program features All We Imagine as Light, the story of two nurses in Mumbai's chaotic atmosphere who find solidarity to survive; the avant-garde documentary News from Home, where the director narrates letters from her mother during her years in New York; Wendy and Lucy, a tale of a young woman struggling with financial hardship on the margins of society; The Headless Woman, which traces the lingering effects of trauma and collective amnesia; The Piano, a story of the pursuit of freedom centred around a piano; and Vagabond, following Mona Bergeron's boundary-breaking journey of displacement and detachment.
Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
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.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.
