Pera Film presents Memorial for the Lost Pages, an online film program parallel to the exhibition, Notes for Tomorrow opened in November at Pera Museum.
In the Memorial for the Lost Pages, there are 9 different experimental films that examine the ways of making sense of the world in times of uncertainty, and draw a path from solution to knot, from documentation to creativity by taking the collective memory as a starting point.
The program that will take place between 21 February - 7 March presents; Memory Surfaces and Mental Prayers, a collection of works by Bill Viola that address the desire to transcend the perceptual and cognitive structures of experience; Ephraim Asili's five-film series Diaspora Suite, which traces a common geographical and historical origin, and her short documentary. The House Is Black, the only film by Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad, and one of the first of its genre, will also be featured with its restored copy for the first time in Turkey.
The program will be streamed at film.peramuzesi.org.tr between February 21 and March 7, and only be accessible to online audiences in Turkey. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age, unless stated otherwise.
