One of the protagonists of unusual and unconventional female roles and stories in the cinema of Turkey with the films she has acted in, Lale Mansur meets the audience within the scope of the 11th Pink Life QueerFest.
Renowned as a director of women's films in the 80s, Atıf Yılmaz also made LGBTI+ themed films in the 90s, which left their mark on those years, in tandem with the strengthening of the LGBTI+ movement and the development of queer theory. Not only the directors but also the female actors of that period, by carrying the influence of these strong images and the period itself, strengthened the place of the aforementioned films in the history of cinema. In addition to the strong and daring female roles she played, Lale Mansur has also carried her game-changing attitude in terms of her political stance and worldview until today.
We will have a conversation with Lale Mansur about the 80s’ and 90s’ cinema of Turkey and the fiery and daring Lale Mansur Cinema upon the screening of the film Walking After Midnight, one of the important examples of LGBTI+ themed films of the 90s. The conversation will be facilitated by QueerFest Director Gök Akyel and queer filmmaker, activist and director of the film Scenes I Imagine, Metin Akdemir.
Marcel Dzama’s connection to cinema forms the foundation of his entire work, from drawings to video pieces. The five films below stand out as key sources of inspiration that have shaped his narrative style.
A Salon exhibition held in the Grand Palais in Paris on May 1, 1906 showcased an Ottoman painting. This was Osman Hamdi Bey’s famous “Tortoise Trainer”.
Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
