- I'm leaving. Maybe the journey takes place only inside us. Maybe the city itself is only inside us. What indeed is a city, rather than the way we see it.
- I first met Falah several years ago in Athens and I can say that I was impressed by his childishness as a human being. When I saw his works, I saw at the same time a very deep pain and bitterness, compared with the past he had lived in his country of origin. He is a man who gives you the taste for travelling. At the moment you have a serious conversation with him, he suddenly starts singing. His works play with the geometric layers, with time and theme. It is a painting that carry so many modern elements that invites you to discover it. Falah Ghati was originally coming from Iraq, but there was not anything distant or exotic about him. He was a citizen of the world. That is, he had a culture, a thought, which he had incorporated and absorbed lots of characteristics from several parts of the world. After all, he is a well-traveled artist. He has been exhibited his work in many countries. At the same time, what was impressive was his emotional world. He was a man with an emotional world, one might say, cracked. And this crack was something that made you watch with a different look, much more integrated, his work. But also, to get messages very intensely, now understanding the symbolism behind the things that he presents, the references, the human messages. He has a constant reference to the Iraq war and at the same time in his work an overthrow of this element. How Falah Ghati managed to become a citizen of the world is really a question. Because he carries wounds, very closed elements, things, which are psychological traumas, and this jump is not easy. Maybe thanks to his extraordinarily strong feeling, to his artistic power. What force an artist to make an exceptionally long way, to be loved so much by different people, coming from different countries? Maybe the power inside him. This is reflected in his work. A work is not only to be perfectly built, but also to contain a soul, to have substance.
- Suddenly through Giorgos Messalas' life, the history of modern Greek Theater started passing before our eyes.
- Plaka is a district in the center of Athens below the Acropolis. It borders south with the Makrigianni district, east with the area of the Pillars of Olympian Zeus and Zappeion, north with the commercial center of Athens and west with Monastiraki. It has been characterized as a traditional settlement. Plaka is one of the few districts of the city if not the only one which was inhabited continuously since antiquity and was, among other things, the center of Ancient Athens. The direct connection of the area with the glorious past of Ancient Athens, which becomes apparent to the visitor from the dozens of monuments scattered in it have made it known and not unjustly as the District of the Gods.
- Theatrical Theme on Racism (monologue). Open-minded" Maya, English language Teacher
- An experimental movie depicting the passage of time over the city of Athens. It does not follow the usual cinematic narrative but focuses on the visual dimension of the moving image. The creator, hidden behind four shooting angles, designs a live painting and plays with four shots that test the composition, opening and duration of a panorama. The duration of this panorama (the continuous movement of the camera from point A to point B) combined with Time Lapse creates the feeling of a prolonged time. According to the director this is a comment on time. Time is "the undefined movement of the existence and the events of the past, present and future, considered as a whole". According to ancient Greek mythology, time has wings on its back and never stops moving. Time was associated with Saturn, the Titan, who was the son of Uranus (sky) and Gaia (earth), representing the chaotic freedom of a primitive world opposed to Zeus' order. "But what was of particular concern to ancient Greek poets, philosophers and historians was the problem of seeking the beginning of everything.
- Passers-by on the well-known and busy street on Alexandras Avenue mix with actors and the direction becomes a game of impressions, emotions, thought and interactive acting between people who see the film crew and those who in a few minutes undertake to direct and direct. themselves.
- Myth, a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that ostensibly relates actual events and that is especially associated with religious belief.
- We filmed a team of amateur actors for three years. They did theatre during their free time. What was their motivation for participating happily and patiently like real professionals do
- Here, the initiated can listen to distant voices and contemplate forgotten images. The mountainsides, with their sharp vertical massifs, surround the landscape tightly, like there is no way out... The aquatic roads however split the mountainous castles and the incessant rhythm of the water satisfies man's sense of escape... The song of the fountains gives hope and so the journey continues within paths never walked on before. This land is hospitable in its ruggedness, as beauty is born from steep stone roofs, trunks and rock is present everywhere in all its expressions. Stone streets, stone roofs, dry stones, boulders and water... Even so this ostensible monotony is transformed to a charmer, who magnetizes the look, a tool of introspection, which reveals countless emotions, ancient thoughts... Thus, here, the involuntary escape is realized and the traveler finds a land shelter. Let us flee then to the beloved Fatherland this is the soundest counsel. But what is this flight? How are we to gain the open sea? For Odysseus is surely a parable to us when he commands the flight from the sorceries of Circe or Calypso- not content to linger for all the pleasure offered to his eyes and all the delight of sense filling his days. The Fatherland to us is There whence we have come, and There is The Father. What then is our course, what the manner of our flight? This is not a journey for the feet; the feet bring us only from land to land; nor need you think of coach or ship to carry you away; all this order of things you must set aside and refuse to see: you must close the eyes and call instead upon another vision which is to be waked within you, a vision, the birth-right of all, which few turn to use.
- The film started as a walk in Athens following the Sculptor and Painter Dimitris Psomodotis. Athens, the loved city, is undergoing a crisis. Values and culture are questioned. The film tries to find the basic essence of Art and creativity. Dimitris lives and works in the center of Athens, in Exarchia, since 1985, on Asclepius street. The creative journey, during the filmmaking, led to "the birth of ideas." The final project was a surprise as it escaped the stereotypes of visualization. The text, written by the novelist Vasiliki Kappa, defined the concept so well "How could art possibly fit inside days that are so full?". During the filmmaking the city s air seemed filled with scents and colours. Its lights and streets felt so alive. Where was all that a while ago? It just emerged as a hidden vibration. It was always there though, but we did not have time to see it. Suddenly the city s light started talking with us, forming an unusual conversation. "Where can an artist find space and time? Space and the way to exist between days that are so filed to capacity"? Where do ideas nest? Probably in their own universe. A parallel universe. Deep inside, everyone has seen them, but most left them behind. They found it impossible to stop, even for a while. They couldn't stand to be annihilated, bending over the source. They couldn't reduce the arrogant noise of their certainty of knowing. It's not easy. Not convenient at all. Art lays you bare." Cinema, painting, sculpture, writing and music are all combined in an interesting relationship of creation and critical analysis of reality. The film lies between fiction and documentary. The fluent, free approach allows a new balance among the elements that structure the form. Thus the narration is no more a robotic recording, nor a plain description of reality but a catalyst and a creative representation. Thought creates the needed environment for the "birth of an idea", as an inevitable solution and climax. Catharsis comes through an arduous process. There are no moments of relaxation. The city leads our steps. Gives the rhythm. We resist the existing relationship between time and reality s intensity. We are present, without violating the space of the necessary vital distance . "we have already lowered the noise of the arrogant certainty that we know everything." So we sensed the human rhythms in the city. We loved again every corner, street, every bench which felt familiar.... Maybe the only solution is to keep the distance from spaces where intensity and cries dominate. Our point of view has definitely changed. Our perspective has changed. The camera was a guide and a barometer. Our idea to explore the city while we explored our mood eventually created the necessary space for existence, the necessary space for life. Thus an artistic film was born without prejudices or narrow boundaries, seeking for the audience that wants to communicate with it.
- The female figure through her course in time. From early childhood to deep age, we are watching a woman She is becoming an adult, falling in love, breaking up, feeling loneliness.
- The documentary presents the axes of a turbulent era (from 1918 to 1933, in Germany) at the economic, social, ideological and artistic level. The relationship between economy-technology-art is explored, in a multi-layered network of democratic claims, organized interests, constitutional gaps and mainly economic and physical extermination of the Germans of the interwar period, who turned to the solution of Nazism.
- The documentary "Morphogenesis" was born through thoughts about art and how it is produced. The concept of form and genesis is primarily the reflection of every human being who integrates his thinking into a philosophical background. The world around us often does not respond aesthetically but in real cases to what we think. Many times copying is what dominates in art, in reality, in people's relationships, in everyday life. The utopian thinking of the newcomer, of innovation has often been considered fantastic and dreamy . Karakasis's documentary seeks to chart modern artistic production by exploring the notions of shape morphs and genesis, which constitute the foundation of all philosophical questions.
- The first Greek short film dedicated to the internet
- An old man loses contact with reality, as he revels in his chilhood memories. He now sees the human soul clearly but can't remember how to get back home.

- "Between two homelands" that tells about a Greek immigrant, Ilias Missiris, who moved to Finland and how he adjusted to Finnish way of living. He discovered in Finland the Finnish-Greek associations, Greek music and that way felt more strongly his Greek identity and a new kind of patriotism.He felt often homesick for the country he wasn't staying at the moment (of his two homelands) but gradually the longing for the other started becoming weaker and he enjoyed his life wherever he was. The idea of making a documentary about people who have found another home began many years ago. When I met Ilias I immediately wanted to do a documentary inspired by his life. What moved me was the fact that Ilias' journey had started for him when he was 7 years old. The truth is that during the film process we, the creative team, we all entered an inner journey stage. After this inner jouney of ours we 've become much better people and I wanted to share this feeling with as many as I could. After this journey we are simpler, more conscious seekers of beauty of life and human relations, and our thoughts are far richer! The excellent text written by the author Vasiliki Kappa was born as a synthesis of lyricism and philosophical thinking. Vasiliki has followed this journey of self-awareness, as we all did, and thus we essentially achieved to capture the something that makes a project special; to be simple, to be about human nature and enable us to think about tomorrow, while building the present, currently living in today, and critically looking back at yesterday!
- The undefined movement of the existence and the events of the past, present and future, considered as a whole .Philosophers investigate not just the metaphysics of time, and our experience and representation of time, but the role of time in ethics and action, and philosophical issues in the sciences of time, especially with regard to quantum mechanics and relativity theory.The problem of time still remains as one of the deepest philosophical problems to be investigated. If we go back to the Greeks, we can easily see the different horizon that motivated treatises like Aristotle's book IV of Physics or Plotinus' Ennead III.7, in which such discussion is always attached to the problem of what is movable and what is not. In their attempt to think about the beings that are not eternal, for they have had a beginning and will have and end eventually, we see a general effort of trying to mitigate Parmenides' absolute non-being in order to creating a relation between that and what in fact is. And from this background, we can reach several important parallel discussions like the Aristotelian dúnamis-energeia conceptual pair, in order to saying that a being can, for instance, be a philosopher or a scientist eventually, even if one is neither now.
