The closing installment of Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy follows a twelve-year-old boy struggling to survive in the ruins of Berlin's streets. Young Edmund lives in a bombed-out apartment flat with his siblings and an ill father. While wandering aimlessly in the streets, Edmund gets entangled in black market schemes set up by a group of youths and falls under the influence of a Nazi-sympathizing former teacher and other malicious characters. Boasting a much bleaker atmosphere than its predecessors, Germany Year Zero reveals the devastating effects of fascism on individuals and societies with a sharp and jarring realism.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
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.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
