Austrian avant-garde director Peter Tscherkassky and American experimental filmmaker Eve Heller are being featured in collaboration with Pera Film, Othon Cinema, and Österreichische Kulturforum Istanbul.
Peter Tscherkassky, one of Austria's foremost experimental filmmakers, has gained international recognition with awards from the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival. Eve Heller, part of the second generation of American avant-garde cinema, has exhibited her work in the "found footage" genre worldwide. Both filmmakers create works infused with a mysterious lyricism and a probing curiosity about dreams, memories, and our relationship with time. Their primary aim is to embark on a journey into the poetics of cinema, crafting a life interwoven with the encounters along this path.
For the first time in Turkey, all the films by these two directors will be screened as part of this retrospective. After the screenings, Tscherkassky and Heller will meet with the Istanbulites in the post-screening discussions, marking their first interaction with the audience.
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.

A Salon exhibition held in the Grand Palais in Paris on May 1, 1906 showcased an Ottoman painting. This was Osman Hamdi Bey’s famous “Tortoise Trainer”.
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.
Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
