Anna is under pressure. “Smile”. Anna has a home. “Insomnia”. Anna has a job. “Nine to five, I’m gon-na be late”. Anna has friends. “I’m bored”. Anna’s parents love her. “Open up”. Anna can’t sleep. “I’m so horny”. Anna is scared. “Talk to me. Talk to me”.“BLISS” is a tragicomic glance at the life of a young woman, viewed through a distorted percep-tion of reality.

If memory is our gaze on the past and past, a boat sailing away to another country, then Katia’s unex-pected journey to Istanbul traps her in a chain of adventures enacted on the front of her disrupted childhood days. Can she welcome back the crossed out motherland veiled in silence, come to terms with it and regain trust when violently deported in 1965, a child refugee with only a suitcase in mother’s hand?Ironically, during shooting in Assos, 8 miles across Lesbos Island, we rescued an ID in Arabic, floating on the Aegean before our very eyes. Past is never dead, not even past. Istanbul Story is not only a story about Istanbul.

Greece nowadays. Seven different stories about seven persons who have already reached their lim-its and finally fall apart. Despite their seemingly obvious connection they are simultaneously con-nected through a common desperate action: the last phone call to the psychological support center called “life line”. It’s their last hope. As no one can really help them, even then, they all remain another part of the contemporary Greek tragedy.

35-year-old Anna lives alone in her big family house. She is addicted to Cosmic Candy, her favourite sweet since child-hood. She loves her job at the supermarket, her Fit ’n’ Wit exercise equipment, and anything that helps her avoid panic attacks. Persa, the 10-year-old neighbour, is bound to shat-ter her solitude, when she appears at Anna’s doorstep asking for help because her father has mysteriously disappeared. Trying to solve the mystery of the missing dad, Anna and Persa will go through several trials and tribulations. They will find themselves in the most improbable situations; from a school full of children playing the heroes of the 19th century Greek Revolution to the most dense forests, where one can come across a life-sized candy that speaks human! The un-expected return of Persa’s father brings their escapade to an abrupt end that finds Anna a totally different person.

The true story of the greatest Greek author of the 20th century, Nikos Kazantzakis, based on his au-tobiography “Report to Greco”. It is his existential search around the world to implementing the ideas of Christ and Buddha in real life; and through his hero, Odysseus, he realizes his philosophy of the Cretan Glance: “Life is a bumpy road and one must walk it with dignity and bravery”. Staying true to his values, he faces his persecutors with self-control and dignity, and completes his work, which is to cherish man’s freedom, the values of life and the Greek Light.

In 1955, a couple of prominent Greek Instanbulites adopt an orphan Greek girl from the “sacred” town of their origin. They offer her a powerful family name and ensure her devotion. Twelve-year-old Polyxeni is separated from her younger brother. She embarks on a new life and a future that looks bright. She receives an education, becomes of age and falls in love. She has a lust for life, all the while unsuspicious of the devious plan of anni-hilation that others are weaving behind her back, targeting her large inheritance.

By Marsa Makris

Caged in a large and decaying labyrinthine pent-house, cut off from an also decaying and threaten-ing surrounding world that they spy upon through the windows’ grilles and slots, the two protago-nists of the narrative, a beautiful restless woman and a sick bed-ridden man, share their common but in no way idyllic life. The nature of their rela-tionship is undefined and ambiguous, as together they fall into a world between fantasy & reality, where fear, anger, illusion, disgust, and wonder, interchange constantly in a frantic psychological twist. They are “Beauty and the Beast”, but with the absence of Love.

In a rural Afrikaner town, where strength and masculinity are prized above all, Johan is set apart by his hidden homosex-ual nature. One day, Johan’s fiercely religious mother brings home an Afrikaans orphan. The new boy, Pieter, is wracked by drug withdrawal and refuses to believe in God, but under Johan’s guidance, he improves and the two partake in the annual maize harvest together. As Pieter gets stronger, his appetite for sex with girls and drugs returns. But despite his transgressions, the manipulative Pieter wins over the family with his show of strength and heterosexuality. The brothers lock into a dangerous struggle for power, using their hidden lives and broken pasts as weapons against each other.
