Legendary street and fashion photographer of The New York Times, Bill Cunningham, roams the streets of Manhattan on his bicycle, capturing the city’s spirit and style. But for him, fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a cultural narrative, the purest form of individual expression.
Cunningham doesn’t chase fame or fortune; instead, he devotes his life entirely to his work. Living in a tiny apartment surrounded by old newspaper clippings and negatives, this humble soul demonstrates the enduring nature of his passion against the fleeting world of fashion. The documentary offers an intimate look into Cunningham’s private life and career, exploring a world that stretches from fashion icons to everyday New Yorkers.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
