"قلتي لي بأنكِ لم تتلقي رسالة حبٍ من قبل ، فها أنا أكتب إليكِ

فقد وقعت في غرام يديكِ التي تقوم بإلتقاط الإبرة و الحياكة بها لآلاف المرات، ثم بعينيكِ البنيتين،

بكل صدق أقول لكِ... بأننا ننتمي إلى عوالم م��تلفة لكنها عوالم يمكن أن تلتقي،

هذه العوالم التي تشبه تلك النجوم التي يمكن أن تخترق بعضها البعض ولكن لا يمكنها أن تمضي مع بعضها

نيكي، أنتِ إنسان لن أنساه الى الأبد"

• Brides/Nyfes. (2004)

• Dir. Pantelis Voulgaris.

@stratostzortzoglou portrait @studiorassias by @vangelis_rassias_photography Athens 2023 I have known Stratos for 3 decades and 4 from the famous film "The Shirt with 9" by Pantelis Voulgaris.

I photographed him for the first time in an advertising production in 1990. The photos I captured of him in 1990-2000 are enough. for various magazines. We met again in 2010 in @athinapappa5's stage play ''No one is hungry''. Excellent. As the Army grows older, it acquires an even more interesting face. In a short time we will present a photography master class with the theme "The actor and the role" a photographic approach…

It was Life who arranged things this way; to have love be so short-lived, but pain last so long.

[panosatthemovies]

The Last Note (Το τελευταίο σημείωμα) is a movie Pantelis Voulgaris was always meant to do. From Stone Years (Πέτρινα Χρόνια) and through most of his filmography, the director has been a master in describing how political tensions have separated or united Greeks throughout history. Here he tells the story of the 200 Greek prisoners of a communists’ concentration camp, that were executed by the Germans, in response to the killing of a German general by resistance fighters, during the occupation of Greece in 1944. The events have become iconic for modern history and for the left party in Greece, but somehow due to their political background, have not been tought at schools or examined in detail. Surprisingly, Voulgaris and his co-writer, choose to tone their political nature down and just talk in terms of Germans and Greeks, life and death, honour and standing for the things you believe in. That’s very honourable, and the movie manages to be authentic and true to life, but the lack of a clear plotline, or the fact that the ending is served in slow motion, as the iconic moment in time that it is, strip the film of its immediacy, showcased in other places, and specially during the last night celebration of the prisoners just before execution and facing death. It’s a thought provoking film nonetheless, beautifully photographed, produced and acted. And I hope it teaches history that we’ll never see repeated.

Hi i hope you don't mind this ask, feel free to ignore it! I've been wanting to get into greek literature (I'm not greek but a fellow mediterranean) for a while, is there any greek female contemporary author you would recommend? Both 20th/21st century is fine! Thanks! Love your blog

Hello, and thank you! The main problem is that few contemporary greek authors- even fewer women- have been translated so this list is lamentably narrow, but you could check:

The Two Lovers by Dora Rosetti: it was discovered relatively recently and is considered one of the first european lesbian novels of the 20th century! 

Loxandra by Maria Iordanidou: absolute comfort read! Loxandra is the archetypical anatolian hostess. No excessive plot devices, just the everyday life of the upper class Greeks of Istanbul in the 19th-20th century. The best descriptions of food and meals that last for days. 

Three Summers by Margarita Liberaki : an adolescence favourite of mine, aesthetically perfect  coming-of-age summer read, nostalgic and sentimental without being too syrupy.

Kassandra and the Wolf by Margarita Karapanou: disturbing, brilliant. The most engorssing and repulsive fact is that she´s the daughter of the aforementioned Liberaki

The Jasmine Island by Ioanna Karystiani: it deals with the tragic life of two sisters, both wives  to wealthy ship owners in a cycladic island  during the 20th century. Unrequited love, repressive mothers and marital costumes. Karystiani has a vety distinctive prose and handles punctuation-dialogue quite unusually- think of Saramago- and I´m weird to see how the translator adapts her writing to english. I also wholeheartedly recommend its movie adaptation (Little England, as the original book title in greek), directed by Pantelis Voulgaris. 

Achilles' Fiancée by Alki Zei: semi- autobiographical, this one is the life of a woman whose lover-husband was a captain partisan of  the greek resistance. It´s scattered between many chronological levels ( from WW2 to political refugees at the USSR to the ´67 Coup) and many cities, including Athens, Rome,  soviet Tashkent and Paris.

ΜΙΚΡΑ ΑΓΓΛΙΑ | LITTLE ENGLAND

Pantelis Voulgaris’ filmography covers aspects of Greek history that include the exile of Communist prisoners, the fate of resistance fighters captured during the German Occupation and the world of mail-order brides twenty years earlier. He looks at urban life in Athens and at the troubles of rural communities through film adaptations from anthologies, theatrical productions and books. One of his most recent films was made in 2013, when he adapted Ioanna Karystiani’s book, “Little England (Mikra Agglia)”.Set at the beginning of the 20th century on the prosperous island of Andros, an island once famous for its shipbrokers and sea captains, this period drama is an epic tale of lost love. The movie also explores the relationship between the women of the island, and focuses on the sisters of a well-to-do family. The impeccable acting performances and its unique cinematography fascinated audiences, and it was submitted by Greece to the 87th Academy Awards for consideration as Best Foreign Film.Full movie - English subtitles
