Pera Film celebrates Pride Week with an online movie program. Titled Whole New World, after the famous song by SOPHIE, the trans musician who passed away in early 2021, the program will feature four movies that depict the lives of queer characters who are trying to create a whole new world at work, at home, in the streets, and everywhere they are.
Taking place between June 24 and July 15, Whole New World will feature Knives and Skin, a neo-feminist thriller where director Jennifer Reeder creates a mysterious world, accentuated by pop-song choirs, reinterpreting genre elements taken from magical realism, musical, absurd comedy and film noir; No Hard Feelings, a moving story that focuses on exploring the past and creating the future as a queer immigrant in Europe; One in a Thousand, a movie where the protagonists are caught between coming out and cyberbullying, community life and poverty, and love and violence, capturing the transition between the tenderness of childhood and the bitter reality of the adult world in a documentary feel; and finally Tracing Utopia, a documentary on where a group of teenagers discuss their ideas of a queer utopia, building online safe spaces within a popular video game and creating a manifesto for a more equal and just world where everyone can be their true self.
The program will be streamed at film.peramuzesi.org.tr between June 24 and July 15, and only be accessible to online audiences in Turkey. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age, unless stated otherwise.

A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value.
