March 8, 2020: A Memoir, a desktop documentary that ventures into what the "Touristic Cameras" overlooking Taksim Square leave in the dark during the Feminist Night March. We watch Istanbul through the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality's cameras that broadcast live 24/7. A child playing with a red balloon, young people dancing in the streets, people taking souvenir photos, the Maiden's Tower, the Grand Bazaar... But do the Touristic Cameras also see the Feminist Night March? March 8, 2020: A Memoir, through screenshots, journeys through time to capture the memory of the last mass action in Istanbul before the pandemic.
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.
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.
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.
