The Unlost Homeland

Οι μη χαμένες πατρίδες

World Premiere

The Unlost Homeland follows the story of twelve Greeks from Constantinople who lived through the Istanbul pogrom of 1955, the only pogrom of such magnitude to have taken place in modern history in peacetime rather than wartime. Utilizing fast-paced montage and innovative animated text on screen, the viewer is transported to an imaginary table, where a group of strangers sits together, talking, answering, and complementing each other. One of them returns home with his grandson after 46 years. Because this is not the end, and history is mainly the stories of the people who made history.
