Maybe the only thing that hints at a sense of Time is rhythm; not the recurrent beats of the rhythm but the gap between two such beats, the gray gap between black beats: the Tender Interval.
Vladimir Nabokov
Part of exhibition The Time Needs Changing and its non-conventional perspective on the concept of time as a linear phenomenon, Pera Film presents the program Timezones from February 6 to March 17. The program is a collection of stories of individuals who await the right time to live their own reality, rebel against the truths of their time, wonder about the lives being led concurrently on the far side of the world, challenge the notion that a day is but 24 hours, and believe in the healing effect of time.
With a broad scope including cult films to documentaries and sci-fi classics to critically acclaimed recent productions, the program consists of Last Year at Marienbad, an exploration of the nature of memory by Alain Resnais, one of the pioneers of the French New Wave; Freak Orlando by Ulrike Ottinger, a reinterpretation of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando and Tod Browning’s Freaks remade into a boundary-busting theater of human difference and transformation; On the Silver Globe, Andrzej Zulawski’s banned and destroyed film that tells the tale of five astronauts who have left the Earth to found a new civilization, remade decades later using preserved footage and commentary to fill in narrative gaps; Night on Earth, one of Jim Jarmusch’s most charming and beloved films and a story of five taxi drivers and their passengers taking place simultaneously in five different cities and told through brief glimpses; Good Time, a crime film by the Safdie Brothers focusing on the lives of two brother in a cinematic experience brimming with realism and fervor; Out, the first documentary to address LGBTQ+ coming out stories exclusively through social media footage; and lastly, two films by The Time Needs Changing artist Cao Fei: i.Mirror, focusing on the blurry border between the virtual and the real, and Haze and Fog, an exploration of how the collective consciousness of people emerges from day-to-day life.
Screening tickets are 10 TL (reduced museum admission). Tickets will be available soon on Biletix.

About a year ago, Ela was dead for seven minutes. Death had come to her as she was watching her younger brother play gleefully in the sandpit at the park. A sudden flash that washed her world with a burning white light, a merciless roar resembling that of a monster…
Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
