Iason shot some beautiful interview footage and b-roll, and did a great job transferring some big video files. He was very professional and communicative throughout and worked well with our journalist on the ground. Thanks!

Trailer for interactive theatrical production
Η Αγάπη (ή φαντάσματα ενός Μη Τόπου) είναι μια διαδραστική, work in progress παράσταση και εικαστική έκθεση μαζί, που αναπτύσσεται στο χώρο του Μπάγκειου κτιρίου, από την είσοδο, σε όλο τον τρίτο όροφο του κτιρίου και στη διαδρομή προς αυτόν, στην Πλατεία Ομονοίας. Δημιουργεί μια «θραυσματική πόλη αγάπης», ένα έργο και συγχρόνως μια πλατφόρμα πειραματισμού που φιλοδοξεί να εξελίσσεται και να αναδιατάσσεται στο χρόνο, συνδέοντας τον ενδιάμεσο, εφήμερο και πορώδη χαρακτήρα της Πλατείας Ομονοίας με ένα άχρονο σύμπαν αισθημάτων, σε ένα παιχνίδι με τα όρια μεταξύ διαφορετικών πεδίων τέχνης και μορφών έκφρασης.

ARTE Regards - Moria, le cauchemar des réfugiés en Europe
Le 8 septembre 2020, un incendie a totalement détruit le camp de Moria. Du jour au lendemain, ses résidents se sont retrouvés à la rue. Le gouvernement grec a érigé un nouveau camp en un temps record. Mais beaucoup de migrants refusent de s’y installer. Ils craignent que les conditions y soient les mêmes, voire pires, qu’avant. Les réfugiés de Lesbos ne veulent qu’une chose : pouvoir enfin quitter l’île. Pendant ce temps, l’Union européenne continue de se déchirer à propos d’une hypothétique politique commune en matière d’asile.
