About

This personal film diary, originally produced for a television series on European capitals, sees Angelopoulos revisit the city of his childhood, searching out for the locations and memories that have informed his practice. It features the poetry of George Seferis, paintings by Yannis Tsarouchis and music by Manos Hadjidakis, creating a portrait of 'a different Athens, the Athens of history and personal myth, the Athens of the director's past and traumatised present.'

Ages 18+
