Thursday Cinema’s new program titled What is normal, anyway? begins on June 2 with a selection of documentary and fiction films from Kazakhstan to Singapore, Japan to Germany and Italy, exploring the notion of normality in a post-pandemic world.
The program reflects upon shared concerns of our current time, while accentuating emerging possibilities of the ways we relate to the world. Posed as a rhetorical question, What is normal, anyway? tackles the idea of social constructs through unique settings of diverse cultures, and examines how established ways affect the complex and vast systems we live in. Bringing the notion of normality into question through individual and collective narratives, the selection also highlights the potential of storytelling in envisioning the future.
The first screening of the program, Sary mysyq [Yellow Cat] will take place on Thursday, June 2 at 19.00 in Salt Beyoğlu’s Walk-in Cinema. In this film we follow the story of Kermek and his beloved Eva through the Kazakh steppes, and witness his journey and aspiration of building a movie theater in the mountains.
This free admission program will take place between June 2 and July 10; every Thursday at 19.00 each film will be screened in Salt Beyoğlu’s Walk-in Cinema and from Friday until Sunday midnight every week, each film will be streamed via saltonline.org. All films included in the program will be streamed in their original language with Turkish subtitles, and can only be accessed by online audiences in Turkey.
