At Home (2014) 103′

Dir. Athanasios Karanikolas

A beautifully-shot film about Nadia, a migrant worker from Georgia, who works as a live-in maid for a well-off young Greek family in a beautiful seaside villa. After twelve years of gener- ous service with the family, Nadia learns she has a serious illness which tests the limits of friendship, love and solidarity between family and ‘employee’. Winner of the Ecumenical Jury prize at the Berlin Film Festival Forum.

Our next screening will take place on Thursday 17th March at the Cyprus Community Club of NSW (58 Stanmore Rd, Stanmore), a little earlier than usual,  at 6.30 pm.

Matriarchy (2014) 160′

Dir. Nikos Kornilios

Sixty women of diverse backgrounds, ages and nationalities, who occupy a women’s shelter, are threatened with eviction. Seven days of multiple stories, conversations, confessions, arguments and emotional high points. A film that seamlessly transcends the line between documentary and fiction, providing a fascinating insight into contemporary female and feminist discourse in Greece. Kornilios is a director whose strength lies with his work with ensemble casts and improvisation.
