Festival Talks
April 10, 2016 / 18:30
Pera Film hosts a series of events in the context of the 35th Istanbul Film Festival, organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV). As part of Festival Talks, Gianfranco Rosi, Jakob Brossmann and Melis Behlil come together on Sunday, April 10th at 18:00.
Wars, environmental disasters, social unrest, refugee crises and their social consequences naturally reverberate on film. As part of the state of affairs, documentary cinema predominantly benefits the prevalence of modern communication technologies and new opportunities in film. In current moments of historical and social transition, what is the role that documentaries take on? How are these dynamics depicted on film? Documentarians Gianfranco Rosi and Jakob Brossman, whose films are in the Festival programme, together with film critic and academic Melis Behlil, will interrogate the state of the world through the lens of documentary film.
Free of admissions. The talk will be in English with simultaneous translation to Turkish.
Limited space, drop in.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
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.
