I feel incredibly proud of it, and deeply grateful to everyone who believed in it and stood by it throughout this journey. And now… I truly can’t wait to share it with you! 😭🥹😍 🧿 THE BOY WITH THE LIGHT-BLUE EYES | ΤΟ ΑΓΟΡΙ ΜΕ ΤΑ ΓΑΛΑΖΙΑ ΜΑΤΙΑ (99' | 2026) 🧿 "A dark coming-of-age folktale about fear, desire, and otherness, unfolding as a queer Greek tragedy." 📍 SXSW London (Shoreditch) 🎬 Screenings Curzon Hoxton, Screen 1&2 Thursday, June 4 - 20:30 (+Q&A) Saturday, June 6 - 11:00 (+Q&A) Let’s go 💙🧿 More coming soon...

Tropic of the Mourning Gecko written & directed by @stavros.markoulakis is part of the FOCUS WIP - Cinema De Demain in this year’s Cannes Film Festival / @cinemadedemain !

As “Gorgones” continues its journey across open waters — with more screenings on the horizon — we felt it was time to unveil the official poster for our film, created and inspired by the mastermind that is @vasil_galanis 🧜🏻‍♀️ Untitled (Gorgones), 2025, gesso, acrylics and oil on wooden board, 35x50 cm.

#GreekCinema Οι "Γοργόνες" κολυμπούν στα ανοιχτά και ετοιμάζονται για τη διεθνή πρώτη τους στο Διαγωνιστικό του AFI Fest! Η μικρού μήκους ταινία “Γοργόνες” σε σκηνοθεσία & σενάριο των @lida.vartzioti και @dimitris.tsakaleas , παραγωγής @atalanteproductions θα πραγματοποιήσει τη διεθνή πρεμιέρα της στο διαγωνιστικό πρόγραμμα του 39ου AFI FEST το φεστιβάλ - θεσμό του @americanfilminstitute στο Λος Άντζελες. Αποτελεί την έκτη τους μικρού μήκους ταινία στη σειρά ενώ ετοιμάζονται για το βήμα προς τη μεγάλου μήκους φόρμα. Συγχαρητήρια σε όλους τους συντελεστές!

🧿 A WORK STILL IN PROGRESS.. 🎥⏳ Some films find their place easily. Others need to wander, to fall, to change shape, to wait for the right light. 🧿 THE BOY WITH THE LIGHT-BLUE EYES, my debut feature film, took 10 years. It doesn’t “fit”, & that’s exactly why I love it. A bold, genre-fluid, impressionistic story that was made to take risks; emotionally, visually, politically. After many screenings, conversations & rejections, we went back into the edit. Not to change its soul, but to listen to it again. The film keeps evolving, just like the world around it. ⭐️ Proud of this journey, grateful for the people who stayed close, and still excited for what’s next! 🧿 The Film in Numbers: ● Idea born in 2015 ● 7 years of development ● 12 workshops ● 7 countries of co-production ● Shot in 2024 ● 1st WIP: Les Arcs 2024 ● 2nd WIP: Thessaloniki 2025 & still in labor. What is 10 years, what is 11 or 12, when the film has become your "child"? 🧿 This is, after all, a lifetime work. 💙 #TIFF66: You can learn more about the project at AGORA-WIP (Work-In-Progress) of 66th Thessaloniki International Film Festival, from 1-6 November in Thessaloniki (=Thank you 👑!) #PHOTO: Original photo ("THE WOMB") from THE BOY WITH THE LIGHT-BLUE EYES © All rights reserved. #LEARN_MORE: /2025/film/global/thessaloniki-agora-works-in-progress-1236537700/ #TheBoyWithTheLightBlueEyes #WIP #ThessalonikiIFF #ComingSoon #BlueEyesFilm #GenreFluid #CinemaThatDares #GreekCinema #FilmInProgress #DirectorsLife #Art #Film #Peter #FilmWomb @filmfestivalgr @argonautsproductions @atalanteproductions @willa.willa.willa @lesarcsfilmfest
