Lingua Franca, directed, written and starring a trans woman, is a powerful independent drama that made history when it was selected for the Venice Film Festival in 2019. The film follows Olivia (Isabel Sandoval), an undocumented Filipino transwoman working and living in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn as a caregiver to Olga (Lynn Cohen), an elderly Russian woman. Olivia’s life gets more complicated when she meets Olga’s grandson, Alex. With the fear of deportation looming, Olivia must navigate her new relationship and find a way to stay in the country.
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.
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.
