Estreno nacional
The big surprise of the Locarno Film Festival. Greek director Thelyia Petraki returns to surprise audiences, as with Bella, nominated for the European Film Awards in 2021. After a lesson about cosmic archaeologists and a water-fight in the schoolyard, Elly steals Faye's soul and Faye gives Elly a rare birthday present. Yet as night falls, under a starry sky, a song from the past reminds the girls that nothing lasts forever.
Thelyia Petraki
Thelyia Petraki, holds a BA in Filmmaking (CalArts USA), and an MA in Visual Anthropology (UCL UK). In her works, the boundaries between memory, dreams and reality tend to blur. Her films are a perpetual gaze to the human behavior in an attempt to understand human condition through the cinematic lens. Lately, she combines and experiments with various analogue formats, along with recycling found footage, creating this way a mosaic effect. She also tends to study the past in order to understand the future.
