Pera Museum is hosting the 16th Istanbul Biennial between September 14 - November 10, 2019. As part of the Suddenly A Stranger Appears program inspired by the Biennial’s The Seventh Continent theme, Pera Film brings cinematic masterpieces that combine the memory of nature and society and encourage us to question our level of alienation to the world in which we live and the extent of our contribution to this alienation.
The program which includes screenings between September 20 - November 10, features seventeen films focusing on global transformation, the ages-long phenomenon of transformation experienced by civilizations and humanity’s cosmic footprint including; Nanook of the North, which depicts the lives of the indigenous Inuit people of Canada's northern Quebec region and is regarded as the first full-length, anthropological documentary in cinematographic history, The Sounds of Science, a selection of short films by French filmmaker and scientist Jean Painlevé which has a special place in surrealist cinema, Sakawa, a documentary film that lays bare the entire Ghanaian scamming industry targeting the online dating sites, through the eyes of the perpetrators, Planet of the Apes, which is about a group of astronauts crash-landing on another planet where a completely different species thrives.

Inspired by the Biennial’s The Seventh Continent theme, Pera Film brings cinematic masterpieces that combine the memory of nature and society and encourage us to question our level of alienation to the world in which we live and the extent of our contribution to this alienation.
With the Topkapı Palace, the center of political authority until the 19th century, and many other examples of classical Ottoman and Byzantine architecture included in its premise the Historical Peninsula is the heart of the Empire.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
