Megara, one of the most significant documentaries in contemporary Greek cinema, records one of the country's most serious ecological disasters. In 1973, the government decided to expropriate vast agricultural land with majestic olive trees to build an oil refinery. The rightful rebellion of the residents of Megara, who stood up for their land and olive trees, transformed into one of the first mass protests against the military junta.
Inspired by the exhibition Istanbuls Today, Today's Stories series continues with Hande Ortaç's story "Felis"! This series gathers short stories written by authors encouraged by the photographs in the exhibition.
The various states of viewing nudity entered the Ottoman world on postcards before paintings. These postcards appeared in the 1890s, and became widespread in the 1910s, following the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, traveling from hand to hand, city to city.
The Bosphorus, which divides the city from north to south, separates two continents, renders Istanbul distinct for western painters, offers the most picturesque spectacles for western artists.
