- The Aegean In The Words Of The Poets Lucia Rikaki / Greece / 61 mins / English / 2006 Trailer Synopsis A film travel based on texts of travel writers and poets from all over the world who visited and wrote about the archipelago in the last centuries In these texts, poems and travel notes from the travel literature books of most writers who visited the Aegean in many different periods in time and felt the need to convey their emotions inspired by the archipelago. We see a very vivid description of the very same emotions that this sea still offers to the visitor. These texts are revealing in the sense that apart from their literature value they form a complexity of impressions felt by travellers in the archipelago over the centuries. Different opinions, meanings and textual forms blend into a common experience of the archipelago as it is being performed in several languages. A way to get to know the archipelago for the young traveler, a way to appreciate and discover more for the older traveller who will visit again some of the locations and look at them in a possibly different spirit.
- On the island of Fournoi in Ikaria, a researcher observes the life of the inhabitants. He has no script or questions prepared; he merely observes. The island thus comes to life before our eyes, through its people, through memories, through struggles and daily toil. On the island, men are sailors and women have taken on all the jobs that one would more conventionally expect men to perform, from construction to farm work. Alinda Dimitriou and Nikos Kanakis's camera captures the relations between the two sexes and how the division of labor is a key gear in the operation of the social machine.
