Introduction
Day one of this film tribute sees the avant-garde film pioneer Antoinetta Angelidi encounter the trailblazing director of the new New Greek Cinema, Athina Rachel Tsangari.
Antoinetta Angelidi creates the portrait of a woman with multiple personalities, on the dividing line between life and death. Athina Rachel Tsangari introduces audiences to Petra – an unorthodox migrant-ethnographer-agent who flouts all the rules to follow her own path through the metropolises of the world. Antoinetta Angelidi is to be introduced by the President of the Hellenic Film Academy, director Yorgos Tsemberopoulos, while Tsangari’s film is to be introduced by the director Thelyia Petraki.
18:30 | “Topos” by Antoinetta Angelidi | 1985 | 85΄ | DCP | In Greek without subtitles

21:00 | “The Slow Business of Going” by Athina Rachel Tsangari | 2000 | 101´ | 35MM | In English with Greek subtitles

A woman gives birth and dies. At the moment of her death, this in-between moment, her face disintegrates and assumes the aspects of those who stand by her bed, while her body is torn by the conflicts of those who inhabit it. In this iconic and iconoclastic work, Angelidi offers a parable on space and time, a game of transformation, where the industrial locations of the film become a woman’s subjectivity, absorbing memories and dream fragments.

Petra Going is a delegate of the Global Nomad Project, an international niche organization that sends its agents around the globe so that they can record their experiences through a special gear in their eye lenses. Every so often, the agents return to the organization's headquarters and “upload” their experiences to a memory file made available to virtual users, who then “rent” the ready-made sites of consciousness that are stored in the GNP database. But one day, Petra commits an unforgivable sin for her line of work: she will allow herself to remember. The adventurous, swinging debut of Athena Rachel Tsangari is an introduction to the director’s unique visual vocabulary, and foreshadows a new Greek cinema that opens up to the world, following new roads.
