Pera Film celebrates Pride Week with an online movie program. Titled Whole New World, after the famous song by SOPHIE, the trans musician who passed away in early 2021, the program will feature four movies that depict the lives of queer characters who are trying to create a whole new world at work, at home, in the streets, and everywhere they are.
Taking place between June 24 and July 15, Whole New World will feature Knives and Skin, a neo-feminist thriller where director Jennifer Reeder creates a mysterious world, accentuated by pop-song choirs, reinterpreting genre elements taken from magical realism, musical, absurd comedy and film noir; No Hard Feelings, a moving story that focuses on exploring the past and creating the future as a queer immigrant in Europe; One in a Thousand, a movie where the protagonists are caught between coming out and cyberbullying, community life and poverty, and love and violence, capturing the transition between the tenderness of childhood and the bitter reality of the adult world in a documentary feel; and finally Tracing Utopia, a documentary on where a group of teenagers discuss their ideas of a queer utopia, building online safe spaces within a popular video game and creating a manifesto for a more equal and just world where everyone can be their true self.
The program will be streamed at film.peramuzesi.org.tr between June 24 and July 15, and only be accessible to online audiences in Turkey. As per legal regulations, all our screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age, unless stated otherwise.

How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
