This project is funded by the European Commission’s European Tribute to Film Heritage programme, which has enabled the high-quality digitization of 50 selected films from the collections of Eye and the British Film Institute.
The Mutoscope and Biograph Collection contains the oldest films held at Eye Filmmuseum. It includes over 200 films on the original 68mm stock, shot between 1897 and 1902. This constitutes the largest existing collection of 68mm Mutoscope and Biograph films surviving in the world.
The musical accompaniment for these very short and unrelated films of varying content and rhythm would present a big challenge to any improvising musician. Hence, a special piano score was commissioned, composed and recorded by Daan van den Hurk. His score holds the compilation together, flowing along its structure while also recognizing the intrinsic value of each individual film.
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.
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.
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.
