Anamesa se dyo nisia (2014)
a story about a shipyard building electric cars an Greek island in the 60ies!
I was sent the documentary by an old friend who is a fanatic fan of automobile. I knew a bit about the ENFIELD story, so I opened the film just to have a look for a few minutes....... and saw all the 1 hour 19min film. It is really touching how a few men believed in a very advanced project for its time and invested in it, while others worked hard to make it a reality, despite the fact that it was many years before any Electric Vehicle started showing up.
Taking account of the fact that the whole story took place in Greece more than 40 years ago, one can imagine that it was not easy work to find so many document, photos, films and people who worked for the an automobile project, on a shipyard, located on the touristic island of Siros in the Aegean sea.
I believe the work is of exceptional quality from all sides (film, narration and especially editing) as a documentary film. It is also a historical proof of how any industrial activity in Greece, was never easy, as it always had tremendous bureaucratic and even political difficulties.
