Pera Film dedicates its program to Halloween, a celebration rooted in Pagan traditions and has found its place in contemporary socio-cultural life: Rhythmic Nightmares.
The unloved sibling of dreams, the callous cousin of imagination, the unsettling path of reconciling with the darkness of life lies in the subconscious: nightmares. Pera Film's special selection for Halloween delves into stories that draw us into their dark aesthetics, malevolent music, and dance.
In this mini-program, from October 24th to 31st, you will find the cult classics that are milestones in horror cinema, featuring a deep crimson aesthetic and extraordinary stage designs. These include Suspiria, a European nightmare painted in deep red, which narrates the terrifying experiences of Suzy, an American dance student, after arriving as a boarding student at a famous dance school in Germany. Also, you'll encounter The Rocky Horror Picture Show, hailed as a tribute to B-movies and directed by Jim Sharman.
Tickets are available at Biletix and the museum. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations?
Among the most interesting themes in the oeuvre of Prassinos are cypresses, trees, and Turkish landscapes. The cypress woods in Üsküdar he saw every time he stepped out on the terrace of their house in İstanbul or the trees in Petits Champs must have been strong images of childhood for Prassinos.
