A documentary on Dimitris Papaioannou by Nefeli Sarri, supported by Onassis Culture
The film – which traces the preparations for “Still Life”, Dimitris Papaioannou’s most mysterious and pared-back work – is not another portrait of the artist but rather focuses on his philosophy and vision, both his own ways of working on a daily basis, and those of his dedicated collaborators. It is a non-conventional biographical study of this internationally renowned Greek director, choreographer, performer, and visual artist. “Behind the Wall” attempts to draw parallels between the creative process and the myth of Sisyphus, noting over and again that the life and work of a great artist cannot be separated.
And the audience watches on, entranced.
