Onassis Documentaries

Onassis Culture is facilitating dialog between the world we live in and the worlds in which we’d like to live. A series of new documentaries will be bringing us closer to issues that concern us all, turning our gaze on individual and collective realities, on personal stories worth telling, on dreams, experiences, and new narratives.

Onassis Documentaries will be taking us into the fragile realities of adolescence (“Girlhood” – 2021), the power of speech and democracy (“Democracy Is Coming”), the importance of breaking the silence (“TACK”), and the human desire to fly (“Birds Or How to be One” – 2020). Everyday heroes from every corner of the world – everywhere from Athens to Santiago and from New York to Istanbul – speak openly, taking a stand on issues relevant to the here and now. Through the power of the image and the authenticity of the documentary form, we are transported – we feel and doubt, and finally are brought close to our own realities, to the worlds in which we choose to live.
