The film, considered a milestone in Greek documentary film history, observes the evolution and lives of the Roma in Europe through the perspectives of four different individuals. The teacher delves deeply into their roots; the photographer documents the current reality of a community that lacks a written tradition or an official history through photographs. The elderly woman Tamara revives a collective memory through the stories and ancient tales she narrates; while the young Aima offers another perspective from the viewpoint of the new generation, exploring the future and the quest for identity. The film, a daring attempt in its theme and style, caused significant astonishment at the time and was prohibited from being broadcast on state television.
It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
