Pera Museum welcomes Greek Film Days, bringing classic and award-winning films together from the creative directors of Greek cinema in Istanbul for the second time.
Greek Film Days, organized in partnership with EMEIS Cultural Collective from Greece and istos film and istos publishing from Turkey, will take place at the Pera Museum Auditorium on November 21-26, 2023. Within the scope of the film program, a total of 24 films from the 60s to the 90s will meet the audience for the first time in Turkey with restored copies.
Opening with Jules Dassin's extraordinary film The Rehearsal (1988), which he shot secretly in a basement, the program also includes classics such as Theo Angelopoulos' four-hour epic masterpiece The Travelling Players (1975), considered the pinnacle of the New Greek Cinema, and Dimos Avdeliodis' award-winning impressive coming-of-age film The Tree We Hurt (1986). Focusing on themes of collective memory, human rights, migration and diaspora, the program also brings together landmark examples of Greek documentary cinema such as Megara (1972), Last Stop Kreuzberg (1975) and Macedonian Wedding (1960).

Eva Stefani, the renowned figure of the Greek avant-garde, conducts a masterclass discussing the documentary’s position in cinema as an independent artistic creation.
The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
The exhibition Look at Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection examines portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Through the exhibition we will be sharing about the artists and sections in “Look At Me!”.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humorous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
