Ali lives a lonely life in his basement apartment. He sleeps, eats sparingly and prays. His only entertainment is the sport of kick boxing. To survive, he collects scrap metal from garbage bins and carries it away in a supermarket trolley, which he pushes along the streets of Athens. Though...

Director: Serdar YILMAZ.
In a family made up of a grandmother, daughter and a 9-year old
granddaughter, granddaughter is forced to eat. The moral supporter of
this little girl who feels contented about her games and within her
own world, is a man behind the curtain only visible to her and no one
has any clue whether this man is real or imaginary.
While the Fried Chicken is a monstrous and aversive thing for the
little girl, it turns in to a four - meter -long avant-garde object
that is pulled over by the (same) man behind the curtain under cheers
in an isolated corner (street) populated by the homeless.
In the spirit of the ongoing global
‘quest for the gold' born in Athens, Greece, over two centuries ago, filmmakers
will experience their own moment of triumph as they step onto the red carpet at
Hollywood's famed Egyptian Theatre, May 31st, for the opening night
of the 2012 Los Angeles Greek Film Festival, to culminate June 3rd
with the prestigious Orpheus Awards ceremony.
While
the people of Greece confront unprecedented challenges, their heartache shared
by Gre...
These are not Elias Demetriou’s words. They were said by one of the female characters in the film Fish N’Chips,
with which the director participates in the International Competiion of
the SIFF. But they are essential for the understanding of the entire
film. The subject is very suitable for
a comedy, but Demetriou
chooses a completely different approach, creting a serious film, which
in today’s multicultural situation in Europe poses a very important
question: Who we are – t...
