Special Screening: Censor

August 6 - 7, 2022

Pera Film presents Censor, a special screening parallel to the exhibition, And Now the Good News opened in April at Pera Museum.

Taking the newspaper as an intellectual starting point, And Now the Good News focuses on the relationship between text and news, the ways in which the invention of photography shaped society, and the powerful effect totalitarian systems have on mass media. Besides that, set in the 1980s, at a time when the media's exaggerated debate about the impact of violent videos on society was at its height, Censor tells the story of Enid as she tries to dissolve the line between fiction and reality.

Praised by Heavyhorror.com with the words "surreal and striking as well as strangely disturbing" and drawing attention with its innovative language, Censor is at Pera Film on 6 and 7 August!

Free admissions. Drop in, no reservations. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age, unless stated otherwise.

Giacometti: Early Works

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
