Pera Film’s special film program dedicated to the World AIDS Day, I’m Here!, continues, with this year’s iteration set to take place between December 1 and December 14. The program will present a collection of seven short films by Visual AIDS, a contemporary art organization established in 1988 and committed to spreading awareness on AIDS/HIV, that explore the impact of arts on activism, alongside videos, experimental shorts and documentaries by various artists from the 80s to today.
This program’s screenings are free admissions. Drop in, no reservations. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age, unless stated otherwise.

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
