Pera Film once again presents its World AIDS Day-special film screening event: I’m Here!
The program, set to take place between December 1 and December 15, will welcome its audience for the screening of a collection of seven short films curated by Visual AIDS, a contemporary art organization committed to raising awareness on AIDS/HIV issues, to emphasize the community care strategies in the ongoing HIV epidemic, as well as Tongues Untied, a groundbreaking 1989 documentary on black gay life by Emmy-winning director Marlon T. Riggs; I Bleed, an animation film inspired by a true story telling the intimate confession of a person living with HIV; and Playback, a striking documentary which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and depicts how the struggle against AIDS and police violence was fought on the same front in Argentina in the late 1980s.
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.

When we examine the Ottoman-themed paintings of indoor everyday life by western painters, musical entertainment attracts attention as a fundamental aspect of the lifestyle.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
