Artist: Gurwann Tran Van Gie
France, 60’, 2015
French with Turkish subtitles
Gurwann Tran Van Gie has had a most unusual journey, to say the least. Hypnotist by training, he is also a director and actor who regularly works for radio and television, where he likes to create funny and poetic characters. At times he combines his artistic creation with his practice of Ericksonian hypnosis, developed in the United States by Milton Erickson. Gurwann Tran Van Gie tackles the complex subject of people’s integrity, contemplating the integrity of four people interrogated under hypnosis.
The director will be present at the March 12 screening.
Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
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.
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.
