On January 15, 2025, the Onassis Stegi hosted the official Athenian premiere of Yorgos Zois’ film, “Arcadia” organized by Tanweer production, Foss productions and Homemade films in the presence of cast and crew.
Radiant neurologist Katerina has to confront her worst suspicions as she accompanies Yannis, a former well-respected doctor, to identify the victim of a tragic car accident at an off-season seaside resort. Together, but also on her own nightly excursions to a mysterious rustic beach bar, they unravel a haunting tale of love, loss, acceptance, and letting go.
“Arcadia,” the second feature of Yorgos Zois, has ‘haunted’ the most prestigious international film festivals. It had its world premiere at the Encounters section of the 74th Berlin Film Festival, receiving enthusiastic reviews. Later in its festival journey, Yorgos Zois was honored last August with the Best Director Award in the Official Competition of the Sarajevo Film Festival. The film received two awards at the 65th Thessaloniki International Film Festival: the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) Award for the International Competition and the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation Award.
