Austrian avant-garde director Peter Tscherkassky and American experimental filmmaker Eve Heller are being featured in collaboration with Pera Film, Othon Cinema, and Österreichische Kulturforum Istanbul.
Peter Tscherkassky, one of Austria's foremost experimental filmmakers, has gained international recognition with awards from the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival. Eve Heller, part of the second generation of American avant-garde cinema, has exhibited her work in the "found footage" genre worldwide. Both filmmakers create works infused with a mysterious lyricism and a probing curiosity about dreams, memories, and our relationship with time. Their primary aim is to embark on a journey into the poetics of cinema, crafting a life interwoven with the encounters along this path.
For the first time in Turkey, all the films by these two directors will be screened as part of this retrospective. After the screenings, Tscherkassky and Heller will meet with the Istanbulites in the post-screening discussions, marking their first interaction with the audience.
This program’s screenings are free admission. Drop in, no reservations. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age, unless stated otherwise.

The exhibition Look at Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection examines portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Through the exhibition we will be sharing about the artists and sections in “Look At Me!”.
The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).
