Actor: Maria Filini

Phélia

An Athenian security guard seeks to escape the crushing routine of her night shift. Playing table football or listening to love advice on the radio just doesn't cut it, so she introduces a more intimate relationship into her life. Intensely visual work, full of surreal shots of empty meeting rooms, shabby elevators and peeking security cameras.

Interruption

A post-modern theater adaptation of a classic Greek tragedy takes place in a central theater of Athens. Like every night, the audience take their seats and the play begins. Suddenly, the lights on stage go out. A group of young people, dressed in black and carrying guns, come up on stage. They apologize for the interruption and invite people from the audience to participate on stage. The play resumes with a main difference; life imitates art and not the opposite.

A Blast

Running away on the highway, Maria is alone in her roaring SUV. Behind her, fire and a case full of money. In front of her, the hopeless vastness of the motorway. Only a day before she was a caring mother, a loving wife, a responsible daughter. Today she has gone rogue.

Her Job

A devoted but underappreciated housewife's brief taste of autonomy as a mall cleaner (where she is a popular, model employee) is threatened by pending layoffs.

The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea

Elizabeth, a sexually yielding policewoman, is miserable in the narrow-minded town in which she's living. While Rita, a lonely eel-hatchery worker, is trying to escape from the sticky situations of her life.

A Manifesto for the Un-communal

A documentary, a video-diary and a propaganda piece for the “lawless, those without hearth, nor clan” (The Iliad, ΙX,63).

Son of Sofia

11-year-old Misha is coming from Russia to Athens during the 2004 Olympic Games to live with his mother. He does not know there is a father waiting for him.

The City and the City

Six chapters describe the lives and perils of Thessaloniki’s Jewish community which was almost entirely exterminated by the Nazis in 1943. Past and present become an echo chamber in which the viewer experiences, aghast, the madness of humanity.
