Exarcheia, the chanting of the birds
Documentary, 73΄, 2019
Synopsis: A dreamy nocturnal stroll through one of Greece’s most politically active
neighbourhoods, situated in the heart of Athens, just below the Acropolis. In this lively and mythical space, you meet a coterie of characters whose ideals and aspirations are in constant flux. Set against the backdrop of the economic crisis, this is a poetical and polyphonic essay that dives into a place where living together is first and foremost a matter of shared speech and hopes held in suspense.
