The Invisible Visible - An Innovative Way of Narrating Films and Creatively Engaging with Audiences
Speaker: Menelaos Karamaghiolis, Filmmaker - Greece
The interactive platform Meeting with Remarkable People creates a multimedia map of the Greek crisis with 12 feature-length films, shedding light on the lives of the protagonists that have been invisible and ill-fated, with augmented material of 180 new films, texts and photos. Menelaos Karamaghiolis gives a different dimension to their stories with the support of Onassis Culture. Through a specially designed interactive player, the spectator/user is able to move creatively and autonomously through the protagonists’ stories, but also to get acquainted with the organizations that support the subject of each film. Thanks to the platform, the protagonists of the films can find a new way of expression and connection with the audiences both in Greece and abroad, while expanding their stories in space and time.
