On This Shore July 2–4, 2015

Within the scope of the YAP Istanbul Modern: Young Architects Program, Istanbul Modern Cinema has prepared a selection of three films to take visitors on a journey through Istanbul’s past along its shores. A different film will be screened each evening at the open-air cinema to be set up in Istanbul Modern’s courtyard, reviving the memory of the area where the museum now stands. What the selected films have in common is the way Istanbul’s waterways, quays, and shores have lent an authentic and touching setting to their stories and become visual counterparts of the emotional world of the characters.
