A documentary that is a deep exploration of gender identity within the context of Greek society, providing a multi-layered narrative that reflects the experiences of individuals navigating the complexities of gender in a culture where these topics are still emerging. Over four years, the filmmakers captured intimate stories of people confronting their gender identities, revealing how personal, societal, and familial expectations shape their journeys. The documentary aims to challenge the traditional norms of gender and to give voice to those whose experiences are often marginalized. It marks a significant step in Greece’s cinematic exploration of LGBTQ+ themes and is a pivotal contribution to the global conversation on gender identity.

Rebellious driver Andi and a restless zombie named Pina are driving through the city with a dark secret in the trunk. Their destination is HOPEPUNK, a queer zombie squat at the edge of town where they set a trap for a gang of nationalist taxi drivers that has spread its filthy tentacles across the dead-zone metropolitan highways, controlling the streets of Athens.

A video performance piece by Prokne. It consists of three parts exploring a journey through pain to a healing space of self-worth. In the video Prokne is inhabiting three realms of reality and is contemplating on the questions: how can we deal with being socially marginalized? how can we build something new? how can we imagine new possibilities of being and feeling? Itys, Praxithea and Me is a dreamy queer performance, a poetic narrative deeply rooted in the body as it interacts with the landscape. Nature and demolished buildings are the stage for the performances with words being constantly present and absent.
