Three years have passed since famous Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos passed away at the age of 76, after being involved in an accident while shooting his latest film “The Other Sea” in Athens, Greece.
However, the Greek Culture Foundation has not forgotten about Angelopoulos and decided to honor him by organizing three events in Berlin, Germany.
The tribute to Angelopoulos will include a photo exhibition by Nelly Tragousti, presenting empty scene spaces as well as the actors’ and the director’s faces when they were shooting “The Dust of Time” in Berlin and Cologne in 2008. The exhibition will take place on February 12.
On February 23, Greek author, screenwriter and Angelopoulos’ close associate Petros Markaris will cover the Greek director’s creation depth and richness in a lecture on “Theo Angelopoulos’ Trilogies.”
Finally, a documentary entitled “Theo Angelopoulos shoots The Dust of Time” (2008, 47 min), directed by Nikos Ligouris, will be screened for a month, starting on March 13. The documentary recounts how Angelopoulos’ last film in Berlin was shot.
In the film, Angelopoulos talks about his artistic beliefs, his way of working and his creative process. The events will take place at the Greek Culture Foundation in Berlin.
