DRAMA, Greece — Twelve films of the Onassis Foundation "ENTER" programme will make a leap from laptops to the big screen, where they will premiere as part of the 43rd short-film festival of Drama, taking place from September 20 to 26..
The 12 selected films of ENTER will be presented as part of a new programme dedicated to films shot during the restriction measures of the pandemic.
ENTER is a programme that emerged at the start of the pandemic. Onassis STEGI and Onassis USA presented artists from all around the world with a challenge of creating a series of new commissions from home, sharing their new reality without having access to theatres, studios and rehearsals – and doing so within 120 hours. Apartments, gardens, terraces, roads, children, husbands and wives and roommates became part of the new site-specific scenes, turning laptops into acreative superpowers.
The following ENTER films, which include works of well-known theatrical and cinema directors, choreographers and artists from all over the world, will be screened at Olympia theatre in Drama, at 18:00 on September 26:
-"Tiles" by Evi Kalogiropoulou
