DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION

The Goals of August – by Dimitris Koutsiabasakos

Every summer in the mountains of southern Pindos, an impromptu football tournament is organised. Armatoliko, a small village and its episodic course in the tournament reveal the fascinating aliveness of a small community, which may be almost empty most of the year, but its spirit remains alive.
