Pera Film presents the current film program, Somewhere Else, specially curated for International Women's Day on March 8.
Somewhere Else consists of six films that follow female characters' internal and external journeys as they transcend boundaries shaped by dreams, struggles, longing, and loss. The selection explores journeys that unfold not only across distances but also through time, memory, the body, and identity, bringing together works by pioneering female filmmakers Chantal Akerman, Jane Campion, Agnès Varda, Lucrecia Martel, Kelly Reichardt, and Payal Kapadia.
Taking place at the Pera Museum Auditorium from March 5 to 28, the program features All We Imagine as Light, the story of two nurses in Mumbai's chaotic atmosphere who find solidarity to survive; the avant-garde documentary News from Home, where the director narrates letters from her mother during her years in New York; Wendy and Lucy, a tale of a young woman struggling with financial hardship on the margins of society; The Headless Woman, which traces the lingering effects of trauma and collective amnesia; The Piano, a story of the pursuit of freedom centred around a piano; and Vagabond, following Mona Bergeron's boundary-breaking journey of displacement and detachment.
Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.
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.
