F r a g m e n t e d
Directed by Ioulia Lymperopoulou
I was inspired by my novel “The smudge” (Taxideftis-2021), seizing the opportunity to recreate on my story and characters and thus experimenting to enrich and deepen the already given material, in order to expand it to different levels. In a nutshell, the elements Ι played with were the fragments of thoughts, feelings and body, lost in the chaos of the human condition, trying to find their way out οf the labyrinth, in purpose of equilibration and restabilization. The body is used as an allegory, the house of psyche, where words, consciousness, unconsciousness, memory, experience are scattered and rediscovered in their wholeness. In this process, the connotated symbolism of death is conceived as restart and metamorphosis. Technically, fragmented images and phrases are clockwise seminated in the illustration, around the center and point of reference, as if trying to find their existential meaning by following the rhythm of life while struggling to become a complete entity.
You feeling this?!?
Directed by Yan Hui Chew
An experimental film about capitalism, consumption, and production.
Bullshit
Directed by Borys Shusterman, Mykhailo Ozerov
Conventional wisdom – with a touch of joking undertone – suggests that the shortest fling can become the most significant one for a man; this is when it is unambiguously supported by a paternity test result. Of course, such a “literary work” is usually based on, albeit accidental, but … Treason. So what should the heroes, husband and wife, mother and father with three children, do? Should they raise the concern, should they reveal the whole truth? But it can hurt deeply the one you love, even cause a breakup. So should they cover up the truth? Should they cover up it forever and would bear this burden for the rest of their lives? But it is not that easy to handle the pressure. Still, there is a way out, and the heroes of the film have found a solution – it turns out that they can do neither. It is enough just to love each other. Indeed, it seems that having such explosive characters our heroes won’t definitely be able to manage it without the help of this tool.
Dolores, A Triptych
Directed by Gina Ann Margillo
Dressed in her clothing and using improvised movement, three dancers channel the complex spirit of Dolores Eugenia, the filmmaker’s deceased mother, in an effort to exorcise demons, celebrate her life force, and process grief.

Land of the Free: OUT OF THE SHADOWS
Directed by James Ganiere
This film, which had its world premiere to an invitation only audience in London’s House of Commons in June 2022, has been instrumental in an HISTORIC Bill to ban the imports of trophy hunting which passed its second reading in the House of Commons UNANIMOUSLY November 25, 2022! This is an enormous triumph and a huge step towards ending the heinous and despicable LEGAL industry of trophy hunting endangered species – FOREVER!
Shot in Uganda, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Africa, London, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Australia, both overtly and covertly, “Land of the Free: OUT OF THE SHADOWS” goes where no film has ever dared to go before to expose the full depth of subversion and the nefarious disinformation campaigns systematically perpetrated by the trophy hunting industry.
