Project summary

Departing from the Aegean Sea and the Little Islands Festival, the duo Ioanna Lykou and Alexandros Zilos experiment with the boundaries between interactive and observational documentary around the concept of "Homonarrans". Through ethnography, anthropology and contemporary audiovisual arts, they are interested in combining the "indirect" discourse of history with the "direct" discourse of memory in a narrative space where archetypal forms of myths, symbols and representations acquire new cultural meanings in time and place. In this process, "Homonarrans" emerges as a timeless and necessary figure for the socialisation of real or imagined experiences that reflect human destiny in its fragility and immortality. Partners in this project will be Foca Film days and Travel Fest Albania.
