Nostos
Nostos (2018), refers to an ancient Greek literary theme that features an epic hero’s homeward journey from sea. The film portrays nostalgia; the sense of longing for the past and its sentimentality. I was inspired to create Nostos, as a personal recollection of an inter-generational understanding, ignited by the stories and experiences passed down to me from my yiayia, papou and mother. I wanted to create a film that evoked feelings of yearning and wistfulness. Screened at Adelaide Film Festival (2018), Chicago CineYouth Film Festival (2019), NYC Greek Film Festival (2019), NFFTY (2019) and Melbourne Women in Film Festival (2020) .
