Anaparastasis: Life & Work of Jani Christou (1926-1970)

Jani Christou (1926-1970) is considered a major figure in 20th Century avant-garde music, although nowadays he’s virtually unknown. His premature death in a tragic accident on his birthday, robbed the contemporary music scene of one of the most fascinating and provocative talents in the world. This film traces the idiosyncratic personality and effervescent spirit of this great thinker following the course of his brief life, intricately entwined with music and his contribution to culture and humanity. Thumbing through his work, hunting down rare audiovisual material and interviewing his friends and cohorts, this documentary brings us one step closer to the mystery this great composer left behind and gives rise to questions about seminal moments in art, condemned to obscurity.
