Filmed with a dozen small body-mounted cameras, the documentary epic Leviathan plunges the viewer into the obscure waters surrounding Bedford, Massachusetts, once the world’s whaling capital, from where Herman Melville’s Pequod set sail in Moby Dick (1851). At the heaving waterline, fish and fishermen punctuate the darkness as the engines grind on through the night. What began as an investigation into the fishing industry becomes a study in the even greater struggle between humans, machines and nature.
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.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
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.
