On Friday, November 8th, Panos H. Koutras delivered a masterclass titled “Queer Before It Was Cool,” which explored queer identity in his cinema, within the framework of the “Iconic Talks powered by Mastercard” initiative. The acclaimed Greek filmmaker had a discussion with the journalist, Alexandros Diakosavvas, and the audience on the unknown aspects of his work, his valuable experiences from his 25 years of work in Greek cinema, the queer representations in his films, as well as the influences and references that have shaped his directorial gaze.
