Movie: “Living with Others” for the 16th Cyprus International Film Festival. #cyiff #PetraTerzi #cywift #wiftcy #Film #red #golden #aphrodite #cyprus #movie #woman #festival #female #power #awards #movies
CVSD WF Emily, ilaw ng tahanan - @anna_prokou , Qatar/Κατάρ, 2020, 19’. Synopsis: “I live inside a box, but one day I will live outside the box." Most people keep their trauma locked up inside but for Emily, opening her "box of trauma" and confronting a painful past is the only chance to break free. The documentary takes place entirely within a red box. «Μένω μέσα σε ένα κουτί, αλλά μια μέρα θα ζήσω έξω από το κουτί». Οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι κρατούν το τραύμα τους κλειδωμένο μέσα τους αλλά για την Έμιλυ, το άνοιγμα του «κουτιού του τραύματος» και η αντιμετώπισή με ένα οδυνηρό παρελθόν είναι η μόνη ευκαιρία να απελευθερωθεί. Το ντοκιμαντέρ διαδραματίζεται εξ ολοκλήρου μέσα σε ένα κόκκινο κουτί.
