2017

A slow, cerebral reworking of a pastoral romance into a tense meditation on nationalism and economic crisis, demanding close attention.

Tagline: Ein bukolisches Liebesdrama über die griechisch-deutsche Krise
Overview: Golfe is an adaptation of the 19th-century bucolic idyll of Golfo and the eponymous first silent feature film of Greek cinema in 1914. The film reimagines the classic late 19th-century greek drama in a 21st-century context rethinking the recent European economic and political crisis between Greece and Germany. The new story of Golfe highlights particular ideological traits that gained popularity within the indignation movement and parliamentary politics in Greece during the time of an imminent Grexit. The film employs elements of Esoteric Nazism, Perennialism, Eurasianism, and the Third-Rome doctrine to reflect on nationalism and the dark ideological intricacies of that period.
