To be Continued... Now!

Pera Film relaunches its venue screenings with To be Continued... Now!, a program of TV and web series. As the viewing experience has shifted to online platforms and computer screens due to the pandemic, Pera Film invites audiences back to movie theaters to enjoy the experience of watching series on the silver screen. Series, growing in numbers in a web format with each passing day and prestigious film festivals creating separate categories for them, have found their way into the filmographies of many important directors. Five different series, with airing/streaming dates ranging from 2014 to 2018, are included in the second edition of To be Continued... Now!

Running from September 29 through October 23, 2021, the admission-free screening program at Pera Film will welcome its audience with Hannah Gadsby’s OZ, a TV series where Hannah Gadsby, who made her big break with Nanette and Douglas, travels across the continent on a mission to debunk the myths of the Australian Identity, armed with a rapier wit and desire to pick beneath the pain; Adelaide, a comedy drama series by Sophie Hyde, who made a name for herself with her award-winning film 52 Tuesdays, focusing on the experiences of a family reunited in Adelaide after finding out that their mother plans to sell the family home; This is Desmondo Ray!, an animated series about a peculiar man searching for love in a dark and troubling world; Dinette, a web series riffing on wounded machismo and the patriarchy by following a group of women and gender non-conforming friends who trade barbs and share truths in quick-witted fashion; Please Understand Me, a series produced by Sarah Silverman that brings two comedians together to create a fictional on-screen partnership as they seek counseling from a real-life therapist in each episode. 

This program’s screenings are 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.
