Nothing seems to be moving in Athens and the people are as still as statues. But elsewhere in the city, a Caryatid escapes the museum and a small groupuscule demands the destruction of all antiquities. Perhaps filming is the only way to avoid turning into stone.
Daphne Heretakis studied at Paris 8 University, where she graduated with a Master’s degree in documentary filmmaking, and at Le Fresnoy national studio for contemporary art. Her films tread a fine line between documentary and fiction, blending intimacy and the collective, and has been presented in many festivals such as Semaine de la Critique, Cannes, IFFR, New Directors New Films, Sarajevo Film Festival, etc. She lives and works between France and Greece.
