Set in the gloomy streets of Rome under occupation in the final days of World War II, Rome Open City narrates the stories of ordinary people fighting for freedom while facing the dangers and moral dilemmas caused by the oppressive regime. Being instrumental in laying the foundations of the Italian Neorealism movement, the poignant film delves into the dramatic entanglement of fates involving partisan Giorgio Manfredi, his fiancée Pina, and the benevolent priest Don Pietro Pellegrini, all set against the backdrop of anti-Nazi-resistance.
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.
