“I
n my experience of my stay in Athens, I was able to portray the urban decay in Athens but also the hopeful every day culture in Greece. In terms of Greek cinema, the representation in the short films such as Working Day, Seven Steps and Pledge were important for my understanding of different traditions in current Greek cinema and Maria Komninou’s workshop on the cultural history of Greek Cinema also helped me develop a deeper understanding of it. Overall, with the help of the warm company of the Altcine crew and in the presence of different voices from the region, Altcine festival was an exceptional experience.”
