It is a modular film with stories from all over Greece, with a strong documentary element. "Little Greece" is a new film proposal by director Kostas Gakis which as a format is entitled "Film - Bridge".
A Film - Bridge means that through the process of filming, people, separated by huge distances, came together. Combined with the group's sense of confinement and isolation during that same period, the film has indeed created a "common space", a bridge of encounters, and now comes to serve as a magical island of meeting, hope and relief for the audience as well.
"Little Greece" is a proof that even in situations of quarantine, suffocation and social exclusion we can keep the candle of memory, human warmth, hope and creativity lit
With the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis in our country at the beginning of the first quarantine (March 2020) Kostas Gakis with his longtime fellow and co-creator Natasha Faii Kosmidou proposed to twelve creative people from all over Greece and the Greek community abroad, to participate in a different webinar on storytelling and drama that would gradually turn into a "bridge film".
Each member of the group contributed stories, testimonies, narratives and poems from their area of origin and from their own memory. The stories that were finally chosen to be the material of the film speak of the understanding of the diversity within each community, of the value of memory as well as of a tender re-appropriation of Greekness.
Very quickly and in a magical way, the distance between the members of the group was eliminated even though they were thousands of kilometers away. And somehow their rooms thst felt like small pandemic prisons were turned into unexpected bridges of expression, creativity, relief, and togetherness.
