Curated by Theofilos Ieropoulos
presented with EN subs
Space opens at 7pm screening starts at 9pm sharp.

Part 1
A series of poetic films by Athens-based and international filmmakers on stories around the body, its horror, its beauty, its pain. The body as a blueprint of fragments of memory, the forbidden body, the illegal body, the scattered body-puzzle, the body as a limited terrain, but also as a place of limitless imagination.

Part 2
The XYZ Trilogy
Veronique & Filtig - Mother X / Y: Gabelkreuz / Sleep (zzz), 2020, 45’

The XYZ trilogy introduces a diaristic chronicle around the injured body, pain, mourning, obsessive thoughts and the inability to communicate. Veronique and Filtig build a complex relational drama where family trauma meets the post-apocalyptic despair of the ‘end times’. In the three films, we observe the troubled relationship between a son who needs his mother’s care and a mother who craves for the son’s love: they create the image of each other as a reflection of their needs only to then attack, deconstruct and re-assemble in endless cycles of love, aggression, solipsistic madness.
