Directed by Alexandra Maioletti / Greece, 2012, Duration: 80’
Thessaloniki, under Nazi occupation. 96% of the Jewish population is sent to Auschwitz. The adventures, hopes, and dreams of nine Jewish students at the Umberto Primo Italian school come to life. The film is based on the archive found by an Italian professor and on the testimonies of the protagonists.
12:30 The other half
Directed by Giorgos Moutafis / Greece, 2022 / Duration: 72’
As if they never existed. People on the go. They face dangers in unknown and inhospitable places. For 15 years, a photojournalist witnesses migrants' journey through the dark borders of Europe. Futility, death and exhaustion from endless struggle make up much of Giorgos Moutafis’ work.
