I’m Here!

December 1 - 15, 2021

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.

Jean-Michel Basquiat Look At Me!

Jean-Michel Basquiat Look At Me!

The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
