Istanbul Modern Cinema continues its online screenings with a new program titled The Door is Open. This four film selection which takes place in different geographies from Japan to Italy, focuses on characters whose lives have changed due to a significant event, while observing situations that reflect our current circumstance when the concept of social relations, the dichotomy of the home and the outside, facing reality outside the front door, has gained new meanings.
