Pera Film is kicking off the summer season with On the Beach! Presented in conjunction with Pera Museum and Istanbul Research Institute’s Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure: Nostalgia from Sea Baths to Beaches, an exhibition exploring a nostalgic story while also addressing the change and socialization of the norms of how Istanbulites used their free time. Pera Film’s On the Beach journeys through the layered meanings of the beach and its representation on celluloid.
On the Beach elucidates that the beach does not only represent a romantic stance and moments of pleasure and fun, but it may also reflect a darker side to summer holidays. In addition to cinema classics such as Pauline at the Beach and A Summer's Tale by French New Wave director Éric Rohmer, L’Avventura by Michelangelo Antonioni, Mr. Hulot’s Holiday by Jacques Tati and Bonjour Tristesse by Otto Preminger, the program also features recent productions such as Asghar Farhadi's About Elly, Ulrich Seidl's Paradise: Love and Yorgos Lanthimos’s Kinetta.
This program’s screenings are free of admissions. Drop in, no reservations.

Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
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.
