Poster for Bella

Bella

2020 · 24 min

A hazy, dreamlike drift through a turning point in history, blurring memory and reality into something quietly aching.

Overview
Just before the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, at the end of the Cold War. Everything is changing in front of Anthi’s eyes and Christos seems to be changing too. Bella is the story of a moment in time recreated as if in a feverish dream where fiction and documentary overlap perfectly, creating a striking and emotional cinematographic universe.
