There’s something in the fog! screenings begin with this American classic, which is not only the namesake of the series, but also is the only film that relates with the thematic concept in this selection so far as the literal meaning of fog is concerned. Telling the story of the residents in a town, who are attacked by ghosts emerging in the fog, and who finally have to face the consequences of a massacre from one hundred years ago, this suspense by John Carpenter on one hand builds on the potential offered by the fog both at aesthetic and psychological levels, and on the other it converts ‘uncertainty’ into a lucrative production area not only due to its positioning- neither art nor commercial cinema-, but also due to the elusiveness in its political messages.
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.
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.
