Details of each film:

TIME, 3min., Greece
Directed by Christos Karakasis
An experimental movie depicting the passage of time over the city of Athens. It does not follow the usual cinematic narrative but focuses on the visual dimension of the moving image. The creator, hidden behind four shooting angles, designs a live painting and plays with four shots that test the composition, opening and duration of a panorama. The duration of this panorama (the continuous movement of the camera from point A to point B) combined with Time Lapse creates the feeling of a prolonged time. According to the director this is a comment on time. Time is “the undefined movement of the existence and the events of the past, present and future, considered as a whole”. According to ancient Greek mythology, time has wings on its back and never stops moving. Time was associated with Saturn, the Titan, who was the son of Uranus (sky) and Gaia (earth), representing the chaotic freedom of a primitive world opposed to Zeus’ order. “But what was of particular concern to ancient Greek poets, philosophers and historians was the problem of seeking the beginning of everything.
