When I Die Let the Universe Burn (Emou Thanontos Gaia Mihthito Pyri)
Documentary / 9’ / 2022
Synopsis: In May of 2021, my father’s life changed forever. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He had to undergo a life changing operation. By using domestic ethnography through the lens of my camera, I wanted to capture his feelings and emotions post his surgery. His reflections upon his life helped me rediscover him. This film is a portrait of my father. It also captures a man who was balancing between life and death.
