Athens, my love

Views: 691

An essay-film which looks for mnemic traces of major political events inscribed in the body of the metropolitan entity of Athens. It focuses on case-studies of a counter-hegemonic history, from the mid-20th century till the early 21st century, in which the logos and praxis of individual or collective subjects have been suppressed till death. These are cases that an official history has either neglected or cleansed of their association with insurrectionist potential. The film develops around interviews with architects and historians, makes use of archive material and also employs fictional elements – all of which are contextualised by a voice-over dialogue. “Athens, my love” looks for space between formal monumentalisation mechanisms (which claim objectivity) on the one hand and personal fragments of memory (which often lie in the domain of subjective contemplation) on the other.

Aynadamar: An important place as far back as when the Arabs were in the area. The whole region of Andalusia was supplied with water through that spring, reaching as far as Madrid. Several years later, the poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca is taken there to be executed. His work in turn supplied the whole Spain and spread to the rest of the world. The documentary intertwines significant events of his life with dramatised excerpts from his work, aiming at achieving Duende (as Lorca used to say), the quintessence of all things.
