Carlos Casas’ Cemetery begins as the endangered elephant Nga and his mahout Sanra prepare for their last journey, soon to be tracked by poachers possessed by fables about a mythical elephant graveyard. As the poachers die mysteriously, one after another, the adventure film unfolds into a spacious cinematic experiment, carrying viewers to the ancient animal’s demise and far beyond. With the film’s allegorical passage through the stages of death, the indexical image is gradually subsumed by a rich sonic journey.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
As the New Year approaches, Pera Film presents an alternative watchlist of 10 movies, ranging from Hollywood's timeless classics to memorable examples of modern cinema.
