One night in the spring of 1995, the camera observing life at the Larissa Train Station in Athens introduces us to the 'tenants' of the station: Antonia, Florakis, and George. The film, shot over four weeks, presents a gallery of people living at the station by following the chronological structure of a single evening: homeless individuals, soldiers, and migrants define a space where different worlds converge and coexist.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
Inspired by the exhibition Istanbuls Today, Today's Stories series starts with Pelin Buzluk's story "Coal"! TThis series gathers short stories written by authors encouraged by the photographs in the exhibition.
When we examine the Ottoman-themed paintings of indoor everyday life by western painters, musical entertainment attracts attention as a fundamental aspect of the lifestyle.
