For the third time this year İstanbul Modern Cinema presents, with the collaboration of Goethe-Institut Istanbul, prominent and award-winning German films of the year. The program is entitled “Till Death Do Us Part” and focuses on the theme of “living together.” The films in the program take a look at the concept of living together, ranging from the nuclear family to society as a whole, from small town to city, and from relationships between friends to grouping.
