A homeless man, a farmer, a politician, a husband caring for his sick wife, a career woman, a factory owner and the President of Greece himself – seven people with seven very different stories take centre stage in Vassilis Mazomenos’ look at how the Greek economic crisis affected – and continues to affect – those on the frontline. As the crisis hits, people from all walks of life find their worlds irrevocably changed. A final desperate act connects them all – a phone call to a psychological support centre called Lifeline. As they fall apart, it’s their only hope. Based on a nightmarish reality, Lines is an apocalyptic drama set in the darkness of a very contemporary climate, where being seen as more than just a number means fighting hopelessly against a broken system.

Six average guys are on a private yacht in the Aegean Sea for who-really-knows-what reason. When a mechanical hiccup leaves them marooned at sea, they choose to wile away the time playing a game of one-upmanship called ‘Chevalier’. Amid the penis measuring, Ikea furniture assemblage and comparison of cellular ringtones, an insightful and wry unpicking of human male pack behaviour occurs, as well as the revelation of personalities within the pack. But, as one of the participants admits, “Even if you win, it doesn’t mean you’re best in general.”

The late filmmaker Nikos Triantafyllidis composes a cinematic love letter to his greatest passion, the Panthessalonikios Athlitikos Omilos Konstantinoupoliton Football Club, or as everyone else calls it, PAOK. More than just a team, PAOK represents an ideal. From its amateur league beginnings, it was a club that gave refugees an escape from poverty and a place to play. Greek Constantinopolitans fleeing from war to Thessaloniki established the club and its colours: white for life and black for death. 90 Years of PAOK celebrates a milestone of football and culture, featuring interviews with players, coaches and members, and a sumptuous visual style that brings sepia and black & white photography to life.
