Movies

The Girl from Exarcheia
Writer
A girl wanders like a flaneur in the center of Athens: a Constitution, a War Museum, a Town Hall. She wears sunglasses and black clothes. "Kills" a boy outside the Galaxy bar and describes, sitting on the balcony of an apartment in Exarchia, the way the Molotov bomb is operating - it is an incendiary and not an explosive mechanism, he says.

Dreaming In The Dark
Director
For Dreaming the Dark: hands that see, eyes that touch, Ana Vaz invited artists and filmmakers whose work trust cinema’s capacity to transform relationships between the body and the camera to propose works that will engage with both perception and embodiment. Could cinema be an art of embodiment? By what rituals and actions could vision become tactile?

Adaptation

A Film, Reclaimed
Writer
The ecologic crisis is a political, economic and social crisis. It is also cinematographic, as cinema coincides historically and in a critical and descriptive way with the development of the Anthropocene. A Film, Reclaimed is a conversation, an essay that reads the terrestrial crisis under the influence and with the help of the beautiful and terrible films which have accompanied it.

The Magic Skin
Adaptation
