The Mirror of Lord Patschog – by Elina Panik
Germany 2012, 14′, German with Greek subtitles
With Bastian Sierich, Effi Rabsilber, Patrick Lang, Matea Mihaljevic a.o.
Lord Patschog and his twin sister Myriel are having a party at their house, but both of them seem distant, with no interest for their guests. Trying to flirt with a young girl, Simon, the best friend of Lord Patschog specifies Lords character: a person estranged to his enviroment, unable to accept his own existence. The party ends suddenly when Lord passes through a mirror!
We find him again at the other side of the mirror, a place where he is forced to face countless reflections of himself and to be the reflection of anyone who stands on the other side of the mirror. Soon his sister follows him. An allegory about self-image and the division of the subject, inspired from the text ”Lord Patchogue” by Jacques Rigaut.

Stray Dogs – by Dimitra Mitsaki
Greece 2015, 3′, Greek with English subtitles
Stray Dogs (2015) is an experimental film, which frames a one-month trip back to the birthplace of the filmmaker. Without following a planned route, rather a chaotic one and through the means of improvised videography and montage builds a self-portrait of the filmmaker, who lives far away. Framing the urban and suburban scenery, framing the iconography of life in the city, framing the inner conflict and the events that streets were scared from, in a continuous dialogue with the memories & the perspective of the filmmaker. Definitions are just artificial terms in a dictionary and what defines us cannot be described in a few lines.
