The film tells the story of Hansel Schmidt, growing up in a dysfunctional family in East Germany and dreams of becoming a rock star. As searching for a way out, Hansel meets and falls in love with an American soldier named Luther. To legally marry and move to the United States, Hansel’s fiancé and mother force them to undergo gender reassignment surgery, becoming Hedwig. While trying to find their sexual identity, Hedwig discovers the art of drag as a means of survival and ultimately undergoes another transformation, accepting themself as they are.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
As the New Year approaches, Pera Film presents an alternative watchlist of 10 movies, ranging from Hollywood's timeless classics to memorable examples of modern cinema.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
