Toposima tou 1821 Poster

Toposima tou 1821: With Hristina Kostea, Grigoris Tziovaras. Two centuries since the outbreak of the Revolution. We trace the "1821-2021, Landmarks" in places where the memory is still alive. We find them in many forms. In overgrown castles and museums. In legends and traditions. At festivals and local anniversaries. In folk songs that were passed down from one generation to the next. The series "1821-2021, Landmarks" attempts to highlight the impact of history on the present day. On people who live in places where battles for freedom were fought 200 years ago. We record the aftermath of the events and capture the feelings they evoke in today's Greeks. How is continuity ensured over time? Who do we meet in the houses, in the square, at the village fountain? What are the habits, the smells? Where do they keep their grandparents' pistols and precious costumes? Which songs can still be heard during the celebrations? How many secrets do the mountains and the seas that surround a place hide? Does the flame of the ancestors remain inextinguishable in the soul? Are the values transmitted by the forefathers alive in modern societies?
