THE SHIT AND THE FAN
Grčki eksperimentalni i nezavisni film / Greek experimental & independent film
Priredio i predstavlja Vasili Burikas (edited and presented by Vassily Bourikas)
Grčka u 21. veku. “Shit hit the fan“ u političkom i ekonomskom smislu. Ovi eksperimentalni i nezavisni niskobudžetni kratki filmovi nisu nužno komentar na krizu. Njihovo postojanje je komentar sam po sebi. Oni nemaju nikakve veze sa starim grčkim filmom, niti sa skorašnjim dobro pozicioniranim novim grčkim filmom. Oni predstavljaju "drugačiji film" čiji razvoj bismo svi voleli da vidimo u Grčkoj. Svi mediji, uključujući i film, su izuzetno odgovorni za krizu koja prevazilazi politiku i novac, i pogađa nas sociološki, moralno i duhovno. Postaje sve teže napraviti razliku između poslovičnog izmeta i ventilatora koji širi smrad. Eksperimentisanje i istraživanje nikada nije pomoglo filmu u našoj zemlji, ali polako filmadžije uzimaju stvar u svoje ruke. Uvek će biti sranja, želimo drugačiji ventilator.
Greece in the 21st Century. The “Shit hit the fan“ in political and economic terms. These experimental and independent low budget shorts are not necessarily a comment to this crisis. Their mere existence is a comment in itself. They have nothing to do with the old Greek cinema, nor with the recently buoyant New Greek Cinema. They constitute a “different cinema” that we would all like to see develop in Greece. All media, including cinema, are hugely responsible for a crisis that goes beyond politics and money but also affects us sociologically, morally even spiritually. It is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between the proverbial feces and the ventilator that spreads the stench. Experimentation and research has never been helped in our country's cinema but slowly filmmakers are taking the matter to their hands. There will always be shit, we want a different ventilator.

GRČKO, NASTAVI DA KORAČAŠ
Anonimni ne-alkoholičari
Grčka, 2011. godina, video, kolor, 2'
Aktuelna reklama za viski "Brend" namenjen za grčko tržište, a koji je prisvojen kao found-footage/Ready Made. Mase “kul” ljudi, besciljno lutaju kroz Atinu uz zvuke pesme “You'll Never Walk Alone”. Kada država mora da se osloni na estetiku TV reklama kako bi podržala identitet svog proizvoda na međunarodnom nivou – onda da, postoji problem!
KEEP ON WALKING GREECE
by Anonymous Non Alcoholics,
Greece, 2011, video, color, 2'
A whiskey brand's current commercial for the Greek market, appropriated as found footage/ready made. Masses of “cool” people, wandering aimlessly in Athens under the sounds of “You'll Never Walk Alone”. When a country has to rely on the aesthetics of TV ads to support its brand identity internationally then yes, there is a problem!
KRUŽEĆI TRGOM
Aleksandros Kontos
Grčka, 2011. godina, super 8, kolor, ton, 4'
Trg Sintagma. Na hiljade ljudi protestuje protiv uvedenog Programa ekonomskog prilagođavanja za Grčku. Pokušaji jednog mehanizma respresije da razbije odlučnu gomilu. Nešto što se nije dogodilo…barem ne tog dana. “ Ispod pločnika, plaža”.
Aleksandros Kontos je građevinski inženjer i filmski amater, živi u Atini.
CIRCLING THE SQUARE
By Alexandros Kontos
Greece, 2011, super 8, color, sound, 4'
Syntagma Square. Thousands of people protest against the implemented Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece. The efforts of a suppressive mechanism to scatter the determined crowds.

DAFNE (NEMA VODE U TVOJIM OČIMA)

NEPOSLUŠNOST
Aleksandros Kontos
Grčka, 2011. godina, 16mm, kolor/crno-beli, nemi film, 6'
Protesti koji su se dogodili dana 23. februara 2011. godine, izmamili su na hiljade ljudi na ulice Atine. Policija rastavlja i odvaja masu i prisiljava je da polako napusti prostor ispred nekog objekta. Gde se to svi povlače? Kakva su naknadna razmišljanja o danima kao što su to ovi? Da li poruka neposlušnosti može da generiše stvaranje novih mogućnosti? Kuda se svi povlače? Kako se o ovome kasnije razmišlja? Da li poruka o neposlušnosti stvara nastanak novih mogućnosti? A.K.
DISOBEDIENCE
By Alexandros Kontos
Greece, 2011, 16mm, color & B/W, silent, 6'
The protests on 23-2-2011 brought thousands of people in the streets of Athens. The police dividing and splitting the crowds, forcing them to slowly leave the grounds.
Where does everyone retreat to? What are the afterthoughts on days like these? Could the message of disobedience generate the creation of new possibilities? A.K.
BEZ NASLOVA
Nikolas Strugof
Grčka, 2011. godina, super 8, kolor, nemi film, 4'
Snimljen jednom filmskom rolnom za samo jedno popodne, montaža je izvršena unutar kamere a filmsku traku je autor lično razvio sopstvenim rukama, ovaj film predstavlja mali komentar dešavanja snimljen sa atinskih zidova. Film je često prikazivan na tim istim zidovima koji se u filmu pojavljuju. Nikolas Strugof, koji je tada imao 15 godina, je srednjoškolac i filmski amater iz Atine.

NADAM SE DA OVO NEĆE DUGO TRAJATI JER SAM DANAS VEOMA
ZAUZETA I IMAM MALO VREMENA NA RASPOLAGANJU. OVO RADIM
SAMO ZBOG TOGA ŠTO STE MI DALI RAKIJU, MED I MASLINOVO ULJE

Maria Theodoraki
Grčka/Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo, 2011. godina, (video) kolor, ton, 5'
Kratka verzija video zapisa napornog procesa britanskog filmskog i video umetnika Džona Smita koji pokušava da naglas pročita naslov filma na savršenom grčkom jeziku, na način na koji bi to inače učinio autor ovog filma -- kome je Grčki maternji jezik. Složenost odnosa između Grčke i Evropske Unije ovde je tema koja se implicitno kazuje, pomoću samo nekolicine reči. Marija Theodoraki, rođena je 1977. godine u Atini. Živi u Velikoj Britaniji.
I HOPE THAT THIS WON'T TAKE LONG BECAUSE I AM VERY BUSY TODAY AND HAVE VERY LITTLE TIME TO SPARE. I AM ONLY DOING THIS BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME RAKI, HONEY AND OLIVE OIL (* read footnote about this title)
By Maria Theodoraki
Greece/UK 2011, (video) color, sound, 5'
Short version of video record of the strenuous process of British film and video artist John Smith trying to voice the work’s title in perfect Greek; the way a native speaker like the author of the work, would do. The complexity of the relationship between Greece and the European Union is implied here, through very few words. Maria Theodoraki, born in Athens in 1977, lives in the UK.
FILM ZARANJANJA
Natasa Efstathiadi
(projekcija na dva ekrana) Grčka, 2011. godina, 16mm, kolor, nemi film, 4'
Sa ekonomskim padom, ruku pod ruku, idu i emocionalni i moralni pad. Skakanje ili zaranjanje u
more takođe je pad ali je to siguran pad, zabavan je i može se ponoviti. (N.E.)
Natasa Efstathiadi je umetnica koja radi u Grčkoj. Završen za vreme šestodnevne radionice koja je bila opterećena događajima vezanim za krizu u Grčkoj, Film zaranjanja je lagano putovanje i u početku izgleda kao neangažovani film. Ali ubrzo ovaj predivan film koji je montiran unutar kamere prevazilazi sopstvenu ironiju, melanholiju i lepotu i pruža nam jedno saznanje koje je zaista oslobađajuće: i u padu je moguće pronaći nadu.
DIVING FILM
By Natasa Efstathiadi
(double screen) Greece, 2011, 16mm, color, silent, 4'
There is an emotional and ethical fall that goes along with the economic one. A dive in the sea is also a fall but it is safe, it is fun and can be repeated. N.E. Natasa Efstathiadi is an artist working in Greece. Completed during a 6 days workshop which was charged with the events of the Greek crisis, Diving Film is a mellow ride and appears disengaged at first. But soon enough this beautifully in-camera-edited film bypasses its own irony, melancholy and beauty and makes a liberating point: there is also hope in a fall.
NAKON ZAVRŠETKA NOĆI
Michel Balague
Grčka/Nemačka, 2011. godina, 16mm, kolor, ton, 3'
Nakon razarajućeg haosa, noć nam se čini beskrajnom. Svetla se pojavljuju i donose nadu. Ova nada dostići će svoj vrhunac kada će višestruke superimpozicije sunca, realizovanje 16mm kamerom, prosvetliti pojedince ispred najstarijeg parlamenta na svetu. (M.B.)
Mišel Balagi (Michel Balague) je filmski stvaralac i laborant, trenutno živi u Berlinu.
AFTER THE END OF THE NIGHT
By Michel Balague
Greece/Germany, 2011, 16mm, color, 3'
After a destructive chaos, the night seems endless. Lights appear and bring promise. This hope will come to a climax where multiple 16mm super-impositions of the sun will enlighten individuals in front of the world's oldest parliament. M.B.
Michel Balague is filmmaker and lab worker, currently living in Berlin.
MERE ŠTEDNJE
Guillaume Cailleau i Ben Russel
Grčka/SAD/Nemačka, 2011. godina, 16mm, kolor, nemi film, 8'
Portret atinskog kraja Egzarhija (Exarchia) realizovan filmsko-laboratorijskim postupkom odvajanja boje: u mestu gde se pesnice podižu poput mnogih stubova Partenona, ovo je film o površinama - o grafitima ispisanim mermernim ulicama i gradskim zidinama oblepljenim žitom. Autori filma su boravili u Artini na radionici pod nazivom Rukama po filmu (Hand Over Cinema), održanom u septembru 2011.g., gde su pored realizacije svog filma ispomagali lokalnu laboratoriju i radionicu u obuci filmskih stvaralaca. (prim. prev. Ovde se radi o ručnoj izradi filmova bez upotrebe kamere; projekat realizovale grupe LabA iz Atine i Labor Berlin, iz Berlina )
AUSTERITY MEASURES
By Guillaume Cailleau and Ben Russel
Greece/USA/Germany, 2011, 16mm, color, silent, 8'
A color-separation portrait of the Exarchia neighborhood of Athens: In a place where fists are raised like so many columns in the Parthenon, this is a film of surfaces – of grafittied marble streets and wheat-pasted city walls. GC and BR visited Athens for the workshop Hand Over Cinema in September 2011, where besides making their own film they helped the local lab to train other filmmakers.
