Shot on the streets of Paris in the spring of 1962, shortly after the Algerian War, the film consists of a series of street interviews with the city's citizens. The documentary explores people's feelings towards the social and political issues of the time, examining the meaning of happiness and touching on universal ideals such as prosperity, tolerance, economic opportunity and freedom. The film, praised for its innovative approach to studying human experiences and emotions, won awards at the DOK Leipzig and Venice Film Festival.
The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
