PERIPTERO: JE T’AIME MOI NON PLUS

SWITZERLAND, 2022/ COLOR & B&W, DCP, 43’, GREEK
DIRECTOR: Pier Blattner
DoP: Pier Blattner
EDITOR: Pier Blattner

The kiosk. This absolutely unique modern Greek construction-small business, that has characterized Greece for roughly the last 120 years. Initially, the kiosk was a state reward to those who fought for their country and were injured / mutilated during the wars of the late 19th century. Pier Blattner’s documentary, however, after a short historical retrospection, deals with how the crisis hit the Greek kiosk in recent years. Traveling throughout the country, Blattner speaks with kiosk owners, the people and public officials, in order to understand the political, social and cultural dimension of a phenomenon that seems to be fading, but persists, albeit wounded, by virtue of its usefulness.
