7 Kinds of Wrath - Work in Progress

"7 Kinds of Wrath" is an existential, lyrical and deeply humanistic film, although firmly lodged in reality. The main character, Petros, is a desk-bound archaeologist, who attempts to open the door to diversity.

"7 Kinds of Wrath" is an existential, lyrical and deeply humanistic film, although firmly lodged in reality. The main character, Petros, is a desk-bound archaeologist, who attempts to open the door to diversity.

He tries to communicate with Husam, a young Arab immigrant, who's an Islamic fundamentalist. Alexandra, a French-Greek cellist, who's looking after her alcoholic mother. Laertes, an Albanian pianist, who has to live with the curse of his own genius. Stratis, a recently repatriated Greek immigrant without roots. Daniel, a bank manager who believes that everything's for sale, even feelings. Michael, a policeman who persecutes immigrants, hiding behind a sociopolitical reality of his own invention.

Petros' first encounter with these six individuals proves initially traumatic. There's a price to pay for each and every one, sometimes material, sometimes psychological, sometimes both. Does the gain compensate for the loss? The ending is open to interpretation. The last gesture is a temporary solution, a compromise to maintain the existential balance. The question is, what happens next?

    Forever - Work in Progress

    Forever - Work in Progress

    Chronicling the story of two strangers in the city through the powers of observation and the merits of a fixed camera angle, Margarita Manda delivers a melancholy ode to silence and the passage of time.

    Electra - Work in Progress

    Electra - Work in Progress

    Electra is a young girl who feels like a stranger in her own country, same as everywhere else. The film she lends her symbolic name to is a puzzle, whose pieces make up her broken identity, from Africa all the way to Europe.
