The documentary, which films the changes that trans man Jack (Jack Celeste) undergoes over the course of five years when he started the gender transition process in 2016, also records the increasing conservatism in Brazil during the process. Jointly directed by Coraci Ruiz and Julia Matos, the film shows glimpses from Jack's life, showing how to blossom through the cracks of concrete. The film, which gives its audience hope to hold on in dark times, signals the glitches of the cis-tem as well. The documentary, which has been screened at many queer film festivals from Brazil to France, from Peru to Canada, portrays not only of its main character, but also of its country.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
When we examine the Ottoman-themed paintings of indoor everyday life by western painters, musical entertainment attracts attention as a fundamental aspect of the lifestyle.
