Pera Film presents the Pride Month program co-curated by Cenan Tüzel, Coordinator of Başka Cinema: Who Wouldn’t Want a Better Story?
Taking its title from the verse of American poet Richard Siken's Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out, "You want a better story. Who wouldn't?", the program focuses on queer characters who thrive to exist in an ideal world while simultaneously creating their own ideal worlds.
Running from June 21 to July 19, the program includes The Duke of Burgundy, which captivates its audience from the very first minutes and portrays the relationship between Cynthia and Evelyn; Lingua Franca, which tells the fascinating story of Olivia, a Filipino trans woman who works as a caregiver for an elderly woman living in Brooklyn; and Days, a serenely introspective search for love in the unique style of Tsai Ming-liang, the great master of Taiwanese cinema.
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.

Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
