Movies

I Love Karditsa
The first human clone (Mike) was robbed during a cigarette stop in NY. In order to escape from mafia he travels to Karditsa to change place with his clone (Grigoris)
Dawn
Love story between a famous singer and a women working in a boutique. She joins his group and replaces him as the singer, while he gradually falls for alcohol and drugs.
Borderline
Stelios Markou
Centres on two brothers, Stelios and Yannis. The impulsive Stelios skips their small town, deserts from the army, and is thought dead, until Yannis, now a city cop, recognizes his name on the papers of an illegal immigrant seaman. He begins a search for his lost brother, a search that takes him across many borders: between past and present, between Greece and its neighbouring countries, between one identity and another.
A Place in the Sun
Ilias
Ilias, a young man of Athens, meets Panagiotis, a new-comer from Albania and falls in love with him. He pays dearly for the relationship.
North of Vortex
A bisexual junkie poet (Stavros Zalmas) driving coast-to-coast first picks up a hunky hitchhiking sailor (Howard Napper) and then an androgynous waitress (Valda Drabla) as companions. They form an uneasy erotic triangle that will finally implode in a fateful desert episode. Greek director Constantine Giannaris' moody short black-and-white feature, set to British trumpeter John Eacott’s old-school jazz combo score, is very much in the mode of the New Queer Cinema movement of its era. It unfolds almost entirely without dialogue (although with the voice of Kevin Graal as an all-seeing narrator) as the photogenic protagonists’ classic convertible travels west across a timeless America of diners, pool halls and prairie landscapes.
The Tie
Panayotis gambles his way out of his village near Sparta. Anthony escapes his English stately home. They meet in nighttime London, during a bloody fight. Together, they discover a new way of life.
The Kiss
The child bends his head over his candle. The island breeze and the psalms of the Good Friday procession cannot exorcise a persistent image…
The Marbles
Christos
Christos is a young Greek in London, well-integrated, successful, more English than the English. Esther is his landlady and lover. Suddenly, Melina Merkouri arrives in London to take the Parthenon Marbles back to Greece. Christos is stirred. He washes the dishes, breaks them in the manner of rebetiko fans when the music of the bouzouki stirs the blood, and returns to Athens… with Melina and the famed Parthenon Marbles.
