WHAT SHALL WE WATCH ΙΝ TRIANON
Among the films we will watch is Noi by Neritan Zinxhiria, which won this year’s GOLDEN DIONYSUS award, as well as many films premiering in Athens, including Michalis Gigidis’ 100 Years Ahead, Alexandros Chantzis’ Fuit, and Myrto Apostolidou’s The Circles of Ro.
Dozens of well-known actors star in the films, including Maria Skoula, Antonis Tsiotsiopoulos, Andreas Konstantinou, Sofia Kokkali, Haris Fragoulis, Elena Topalidou, Charis Tzortzakis, Makis Papadimitriou, Lena Kitsopoulou, Evelina Papoulia, Thanos Tokakis, Youla Boudali, Penelope Tsilika, Dimitra Vlagopoulou, and many other talented new faces.
We will also enjoy the amazing performances of Filia Papangelidi, who won the Best Female Performance Award ((Mitsi), and Aris Balis, who won the Best Male Performance Award (He Who Once Was).
Once more this year, social issues and relationships were the main focus; loss, mother-daughter relationships, pregnancy, first menstrual period, alienation. Animals and children play a leading role in several films, with children’s perspective and imagination coming to the fore and occupying a significant part of this year’s film themes.
The hot issues that trouble modern Greece continue to inspire short film makers one more time: the far right, bankruptcy, corruption, homophobia, immigration, the search for identity, drugs, prostitution, but also references to the recent political past. The lockdown continues to leave its mark on cinema, while we will also watch films inspired by the nightlife, as well as by cinemas that are closing down in the name of profit. The business of death in cemeteries, and the unconditional surrender to the tourism industry, have also served as raw material for some other creators.
However, the program is further enriched by a new distinct trend: films featuring mythical creatures such as vampires, mermaids, and zombies, but from an LGBTQ+ angle. At the same time, we also find hybrid films and mockumentaries (fiction films presented as documentaries) that can fool even the most experienced eye.
On the Festival website, you will find all the films participating in the Festival’s competition sections.
