Pera Film presents the Pride Month program As I Am, bringing together two landmark films from the 1990s independent cinema that highlight expressions of personal identity.

As I Am follows two characters who explore unspoken emotions, desire, and the need for belonging in different ways; moving from a search for everyday connection in black-and-white frames to a melancholic journey in pursuit of a lost past along the highways.

Screenings will take place from 28 June to 9 July at the Pera Museum Auditorium, featuring Go Fish, Rose Troche’s film about a young woman cautiously entering a new relationship while navigating her identity and desires; and My Own Private Idaho, directed by Gus Van Sant, which tells the story of Mike, a narcoleptic street hustler, and Scott, a man from a privileged background, as they travel in search of connection and meaning.

Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be pu
