Dark City, combining the neo-noir and science fiction genres, did not receive the attention it deserved when it was released, much like many other works that boldly blended different genres to create a new fusion. Over time, the film developed a loyal fan base and became a cult classic. It follows the protagonist, John Murdoch, who has lost his memory. Murdoch finds himself as the prime suspect in a series of gruesome murders and is pursued by both the police and a mysterious group known as "The Strangers." He struggles to regain his lost memory while unravelling the dark secrets of the enigmatic city he encounters.
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.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
