CLOSING FILM

Patty is Such a Girly Name – by Giorgos Georgopoulos

Daphne, a teenage judo athlete from a remote Greek island, is ready to spread her wings and follow Sensei Yuri to the big city and ultimately to the next Olympic Games. Yuri, for unknown reasons, has been absent from the world of Judo for the last few years and he is looking for a new beginning, while Daphne transitions from the carefreeness of adolescence into the hard world of adults.

Giorgos Georgopoulos

Giorgos Georgopoulos studied directing at the School of Cinematography and Television Lykourgou Stavrakou. His father was also into cinema (Director of Photography for many classic Greek films) and his choice to also get in the industry was greatly influenced by that. Later on, he studied Social Science in Rome (Universita Roma I: La Sapienza). Upon his return to Greece, he worked as a film editor and soon thereafter as a director, mainly of TV commercials and documentary films.
