Silent Journeys

February 14 - 21, 2025

Pera Film, in collaboration with the Hungarian Cultural Center, presents the online film program Silent Journeys.

The film program offers a selection of remarkable Hungarian animations from recent years, featuring short films such as Amok, Oliver the Giant, and Meditation at Dusk, notable for their artistic depth and striking narratives. These non-verbal films explore profound inner transformations and characters' spiritual and mental journeys in silence.

The films will be available for viewing on the Pera Museum's website from February 14 to 21.

Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.

He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
