Pera Film is hosting the screening of the documentary Maria by Callas: In Her Own Words, directed by Tom Volf, dedicated to the great soprano Maria Callas, in collaboration with the Greek Consulate General in Istanbul.

Tom Volf discovered Maria Callas by accident, when he stumbled upon a recording of hers that captivated him. This passion pushed him to travel the world for 3 years in search of the true Maria Callas and meet the last survivors of her generation, her close friends, colleagues, and those who truly knew her.
Tom Volf has directed many short films about opera and was in charge of audiovisual communication at the Théâtre du Châtelet for three years. Among the many great figures he has interviewed are Placido Domingo, Sting, and David Cronenberg. He has also directed many corporate films and commercials.
