Flüssige Wesenszüge einer Bildapparatur (Liquid Traits of an Image Apparatus)
Director: Vera Sebert
7’ 22’’, 2019
On a cinema screen these images are detached from their initial meaning. Like a random rhizome structure an associative montage of minimalistic user interfaces follows the film’s timeline. Our own body perception and our interpretation formed by media conditions become protagonists in a film without narrative.
Nicer, Soon
Director: Julius Weigel
11’, 2019
In NICER, SOON a narrator shares two memories. In the process of repeating them in rotation they seem to get charged by ideas of romantic popular culture. The images in this one take are described in circular motion, leading to the understanding that everyone is in the center of their surroundings.
Beasts of No Nation
Director: Krzysztof Honowski
9’, 2019
An essay film about crowds, nationalism, and the loneliness of rollercoasters. Born in London to Polish immigrants, Krzysztof Honowski is very confused by what is happening in those countries right now. Together with actress Laura Sundermann they create a parody of a grand narrative that “speaks for a generation”.
If There is Love, You Will Take it
Director: Daniel Hopp
10’, 2020
Like talking toy animals, we sit there and speak, every day. We speak copy-and-paste language. We don’t know yet what we will have said. In the ‘Istanbul’, it‘s risky – like being on a ‘Scarface’ film trip. It can work, it can fail, just like maintaining the role.
Centauress
Director: Deniz Şimşek
8’, 2020
Year 2003, footage from TV archives, the future president of Turkey speaks to his folk. Gender – an intimate memory, 2nd grade, the schoolyard in Üsküdar under blue sky. An everlasting catchy tune from a juice commercial. In an instant of remembrance your memory gets you to fall through its own time and space.
From My Desert
Director: Veneta Androva

The young investor is ecstatic about the meeting. There he hangs, Martin, beautiful, alluring, exciting. It's almost like love. But can the relationship last? (Carolin Weidner, DOK Leipzig 2019)
Letters from Silivri
Director: Adrian Figueroa
15’, 2020

Top Down Memory
Director: Daniel Theiler
12’, 2020
The film deals with the manipulation of history in the context of the reconstruction of the Berlin City Palace. Starting from the confusions surrounding an alledged proclamation of a socialist republic from one of its balconies in 1918, the film examines other political events that occurred on balconies. Reenactments of iconic political and cultural events on the original balcony raise questions about authenticity and manipulation.
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.
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.
Selected from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Photography Collection, we present the landscapes and places in Istanbul photographs, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s, together with their present-day views!
