Four panelists, Ms. Athena Kalkopoulou, Ms. Antigoni Rota, and Ms. Afroditi Nikolaidou, present to the participants a clear picture on today’s state of filmmaking in Greece, the industry’s structure, the national policies undertaken to boost and enable film production, to challenge the market demands etc.
In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.
I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.
