Innocence of Memories

Writing, memory and architecture flow together in this sensual nocturnal wandering through the streets of Istanbul, which becomes a vibrant archive of life lived. Orhan Pamuk – Turkey's Nobel laureate for Literature – opens a museum in Istanbul. A museum that's a fiction: its objects trace a tale of doomed love in 1970's Istanbul, brought to life in his international best-selling novel The Museum of Innocence. In Innocence of Memories, acclaimed documentary filmmaker Grant Gee (Meeting People is Easy, Patience: After Sebald) takes a tour of the museum as the starting point for a trip through love stories, landscapes and the chemistry of the city.
