Four directors, four city stops. “Clean City” – the Onassis Stegi production that has toured the world most widely – has given rise to an anthology film honoring the women who clean the cities of the world.

Still: Marina Danezi

I love you. Love. That’s the word. But where’s the action?

An Onassis Culture production. Directed by Marina Danezi, Kostas Mandilas, Constantinos Hadzinikolaou, and Christos Sarris. Based on the performance "Clean City" by Anestis Azas & Prodromos Tsinikoris.

Who cleans the world’s cities? And why are they mainly women and immigrants? Onassis Stegi’s well-traveled production “Clean City” has prompted a hybrid film. Four different directors follow the work as it tours four cities: Skopje, Sarajevo, Montpellier, and Istanbul. Female immigrants and cleaners – the work’s lead performers, and other women too – tell their life stories, and talk about the prejudice inherent in notions of cleanliness and purity, and the dangers of fascism, about women’s migration, and sexual assault. An anthology film on the border between documentary and fiction that springs from the filmed theater production by Anestis Azas and Prodromos Tsinikoris. The film was selected at Athens International Film Festival "Opening Nights" 2021 and Thessaloniki International Film Festival 2022.
