Marina Kalogirou: Papakaliatis, her son and the role of "femme fatale"

THE Marina Kalogirou spoke to the website tospirto.net and mentioned -among other things- in her collaboration with Christoforos Papakaliatis in his new film, but also to her son.

Its 34-year-old protagonist“If…” commented on what she got out of being in the film: "In this film I think I learned to create and have fun in a different way than,what have i done so far. It's a genre I've never done before. That is, to have an address to a very large audience and to have to open in a way my codes and energy in a different way than,what have I done so far".

About her collaboration with Christoforos Papakaliatis, Marina Kalogirou revealed: "Christophoros asked me to do things, that I, as an actress, would not choose them myself. This was very interesting. I left what I know to do very well and was asked for something else. Christoforos has written the script, he is the director and the protagonist at the same time. So the size of his work was so big, that all I had to do was support him. It was impossible, in all that Christopher did, me to say "no, no" or "I don't think so". He would go crazy! I couldn't go against him, I absolutely had to be with him".

How much she loves the role of a femme fatale both at work and in her life; “In the past, I was fascinated by this genre, of the spider woman. It was something that attracted me. I wanted to have input from that, I've always liked these women. At some point in my life, I became a femme fatale, in my relationships, in my life. I played this thing, I experienced it. I realized, Well, that this thing is not true, it is a lie. It's a way some women find, who also have an ability to "play it", to be desirable and attractive" she confessed.

End, Marina Kalogirou spoke about her son and how difficult it is for a woman, in the current economic crisis, to raise a child: "You know what; I feel that calmness, my love and my joy are not at all threatened by this thing. Of course I'm struggling, I've gotten to the point where I'm struggling even with food. Never, Nevertheless, I didn't feel like it affected my enjoyment. That would be a lack of love, not lack of money. We could every day, Every noon, to open our door and leave a plate of food outside. If only everyone did this, those who can do it – which most people for a plate of food can do – no one would go hungry. People who are hungry like this would know to find a plate of food outside a door. That's why we don't; The problem is that we are like this… The problem is not where we have placed it".

15the Olympia Festival: All for the child

Twelve fictional films for children and adults

The text that follows attempts to take a brief look at the twelve feature fiction films that will be screened in competition during the 15th Olympia film festival for children and youth.

This year's festival takes place in Pyrgos and other areas of Ilia from Saturday 1 December until Saturday 8 of the same month (see related topic "Olympia film boom"). Naturally, it is not only these films that will be screened at the festival in whose program they are at least counted 50. But since it is long and fiction, it is natural to attract more curiosity (in the future we will come back with the presentation of the animated films).

Faithfully dedicated to films that relate exclusively to children but which at the same time are also aimed at adults, the festival appears clearly renewed this year, with a variety of events but also with as it seems beautiful films. As we see from the short summaries, fiction feature films deal with themes such as the irreconcilability of the child character, the surprise of the first discovery, the struggle of first love, the love for animals but also the childhood imagination that many times (if not most) she is inexhaustible.

It should also be noted that the film that will be distinguished at the Olympia Festival with the award for Best Film, is automatically nominated for the Best Film Award of the European Festivals awarded by the European Union of Cinema for Children and Youth (ECFA). This prize will be awarded in February in Berlin, on the days of the city's film festival. The award was established last year and was awarded to the Belgian film "In the Footsteps". The film was screened at the 14th Olympia Festival.

Το επτατάχυτο κιβώτιο Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) διατίθεται προαιρετικά, προσφέροντας καλύτερη επιτάχυνση και μεγαλύτερη εξοικονόμηση καυσίμου.
