Istanbul Modern Museum shows some interesting films.I have seen many interesting films at this museum.

Istanbul Modern Cinema presents the complete filmography of Michael Haneke, one of the greatest contemporary film directors of Europe. The program will be carried out in cooperation with the Goethe Institute, Austrian Cultural Office and the French Cultural Center. All 21 films of the director will be screened with the scope of the program that features both television films and award-winning cinema films, including “Love” that won the Golden Palm in Cannes Film Festival and received five Oscar nominations this year. Besides film screenings, a talk will be held on Thursday February the 28th with the participation of Roy Grundmann, the writer of “A Companion to Michael Haneke” and Hüseyin Tabak, one of Haneke’s students and the director of “Your Beauty is Worth Nothing” that won the Golden Orange “Best Film” award in 2012.
