Backdrop Cities

Backdrop Cities April 6, 2013

stanbul Modern Cinema presents a film selection entitled “Background Cities” in conjunction with the exhibition “VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series Presents: PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB” on view in Istanbul Modern’s Pop-up Exhibition Area between 7 February-7 April. Focusing on the concept of the holiday, the show addresses the theme of “space in film” through this selection. In the films selected from Turkish cinema, cities play the leading roles, the drama is constructed around that space, and the characters exist only within those spaces.
