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.
