Exarcheia, the Chanting of Birds
Nadine Gomez, Nadine Gomez
2018 - 73 min - Couleur - Canada

"Exarcheia" takes you on a dreamy nocturnal stroll through one of Greece’s most politically active neighbourhoods, situated in the heart of Athens, just below the Acropolis.
In this lively and mythical space, you meet a coterie of characters whose ideals and aspirations are in constant flux. Set against the backdrop of the economic crisis, "Exarcheia" is a poetical and polyphonic essay that dives into a place where living together is first and foremost a matter of shared speech and hopes held in suspense.
