Pera Film is hosting 41th Istanbul Film Festival! As part of the festival, the 17th Istanbul Biennial’s selection titled Rather Than a Great Tree, Laden With Sweet, Ripe Fruit meets the audience at the Pera Museum Auditorium.
Rethinking the very purposes of contemporary art the 17th Istanbul Biennial questions: what should a biennial do, in such febrile times? What role can it play in nourishing and fertilising public spheres desensitised by torrential news streams of violence and scandal? Amidst crises and dysfunction, cinema is due for the same kind of reckoning. A more editorial kind of cinema is needed—moving images that inform, educate, and challenge popular wisdom. Selected by co-curators David Teh, Ute Meta Bauer, and Amar Kanwar, the biennial’s contribution to the 41st Istanbul Film Festival opens a window for seeing and hearing again; for feeling, thinking, and speaking in new ways.
Tickets will be available without any service fees on the Passo website, Passo Mobile and at IKSV main box office every day between 10.00 and 18.00 except Sundays.

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”.
