Goethe Institute: His Exarchies 2011 in his Berlin 2012

The strict economic austerity measures in Greece, just as the lens of two directors recorded them

 The film "Austerity Measures" (s.s. "Austerity measures") co-written by directors Ben Russell and Guillaume Caillot, selected by the Berlin Film Festival to screen during its 62nd edition (9- 19 February).
 
 The experimental aesthetic film which is a production of the Goethe Institute of Athens itself and the LabA film collective (LaborAthen) will be screened at the Berlinale on Saturday 11 and on Sunday 12 February in the Forum Expanded Section.
It is a "x-ray" of social life in Greece after the repeated austerity measures imposed by the Troika and is focused on the area of ​​Exarchia (the film's working title was 'Exarcheia, Red-Blue-Green»).
Shot in 16mm, the film was created in 5 days in September 2011 during the workshop "Hand over cinema Athens 2011".
Last year, for the first time, the "Hand over cinema Athens" workshop invited Greek and foreign film lovers, professional filmmakers, visual artists, students as well as amateurs to gather in Athens and make hand-made films with the aim of depicting various aspects of the city.
Its world premiere took place at the Institute's auditorium on 13 of last September.
"Austerity Measures" is the fruit of Greek-German cooperation in the field of culture supported by the German Institute of Athens. It is very happy that the creation of a network in the field of cinema has found a response not only in Greece and Germany, but also at an international level.
The film program of the Goethe-Institut Athen will continue its efforts to create a Greek-German film network and thanks all the creators who cooperate and support it.

February 2012 Anti – Tribute to Saint Valentine
Away from pink balloons, cards with hearts and bouquets the cities continue indifferently on their course. Cities divided in two, cities wild dark and haunted like the lives of their people, who seek and experience the obsessions of love, the contact, the brief flame of human life, and in the hope of happiness they form their own moral codes. Next to the pink happy ones, sweet pictures, they also project wild images in earthy colors, in sepia and black and white that reveal the secrets, the passions,  the pursuits of people in the eternal pursuit of happiness…
In February, in the month that usually celebrates a saint of lovers, the IMC has chosen and presents films about love that are unconventional, separate, away from hagiographies, even if some of them are dominated by angels, in a instead- tribute to Saint Valentine. Because life has many aspects as well as desires.
In addition and… suddenly, music is playing!
Young people, but also already established,  notable musicians and music students occupy the foyer of the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation and introduce themselves to the public through small concerts with various types of music. Through this cycle of events they find a platform for expression and present musical prologues for the film screenings of “Wednesdays with Cinema at IMC”,  about half an hour before the start of each screening with free entry for all.
In this context, on Wednesday 22nd and Wednesday 29 February 2012, the audience will have the opportunity to come into contact with musical works of the U. Kotzia, X. Samaras and N.

"We don't know what will dawn on us"

Concerned about the situation in Greece, N. Dragoumi
Natalia Dragoumi spoke about the possibility of moving with her family outside of Greece due to the financial crisis, who was invited today to "Breakfast ANT1".

"If I left I would go to Germany. Because in the theater there I might have more opportunities to work. I have previously worked for two months in Berlin. We also won an award with the show I staged in Germany," said the actress, emphasizing though: "People will think I'm leaving, I'm not leaving. My husband and I are just talking about it, at worst".

But she is concerned that her children are growing up in a country plagued by crisis; “They will grow up to be fighters, from having everything ready. We can also see the positive side of everything we go through. […] I don't have that fear! Basically we don't know what will dawn on us! I don't want to live with this fear. Of course they may experience worse things but it can also do them good. From then on, children do not want material things, they want love. They don't need greatness," clarified Natalia Dragoumi.
