capétte

Avant-Drag! paints portraits of ten drag artists of varying gender expressions and sexualities who take to the streets of Athens to query, problematise and (yes, please!) undermine social strictures. Employing wildly imagined personas – like riot housewives and Albanian turbo-folk girls – who perform acts as revolutionary as praising abortion and as charming as drawing childish pictures, these artists call for social justice by taking aim at conservatism, patriarchy, patriotism, racism and sexism.

A music documentary that invades and highlights the queer music community in Thessaloniki. Through conversations with the artists capétte and Demetria, concerns, personal searches and dreams are expressed, which go beyond the geographical space of Thessaloniki, and build a more rounded image around the representation of the LGBTI+ community in the music industry and in art.

After his bossy stepfather decides to take him on a business trip, 16-year-old Michalis spends his last day in the city hanging out with his friends. It will be a day full of illegalities, music and bold risks.

As a girl opens her eyes and wakes up in a vast forest, a voice announces that she is part of a simulation, artificially shaped by scientists from the future. The girl, refusing to believe her, hurries to escape unsuccessfully. This virtual world is her only memory and the way out of it assumes that the girl will succeed in recalling her real life. This is the last hope for the experiment to be successful and for the girl to regain her life. Will he be able to remember or will he be disconnected? The film was made in the context of the 5th Panorama Film School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with the theme DEACTIVATION.
