Loukia Alavanou, THE HUNTER
(GRC 2014, 8’, greek)
German Premiere
A short film about the long history of gold in culture and politics. In light of current political conflicts surrounding the sale of the Cassandra gold mines in northern Greece, self-shot images of everyday life in the mines are combined with excerpts from famous Hollywood movies to form a visual puzzle that depicts the precious metal as an economic and cultural icon.
