Pera Film presents the Pride Month program co-curated by Cenan Tüzel, Coordinator of Başka Cinema: Who Wouldn’t Want a Better Story?
Taking its title from the verse of American poet Richard Siken's Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out, "You want a better story. Who wouldn't?", the program focuses on queer characters who thrive to exist in an ideal world while simultaneously creating their own ideal worlds.
Running from June 21 to July 19, the program includes The Duke of Burgundy, which captivates its audience from the very first minutes and portrays the relationship between Cynthia and Evelyn; Lingua Franca, which tells the fascinating story of Olivia, a Filipino trans woman who works as a caregiver for an elderly woman living in Brooklyn; and Days, a serenely introspective search for love in the unique style of Tsai Ming-liang, the great master of Taiwanese cinema.
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.

Through the exhibition we will be sharing about the artists and sections in Look At Me!.
Giacometti was selected for three important retrospectives at the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Tate Gallery in London and the Louisiana Museum of Art in Denmark, all of which were a great success.
He was born on April 18, 1935 in the province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. His family migrated to the capital, San José, where in 1952 he earned a bachelor’s degree from the Lyceum of Costa Rica.
