Latest cinematography work for @wearegammagamma and director @dipyadeep starring Willem Dafoe, up on @nowness ! Forever grateful to Vasilis Katsoupis, George Karnavas and @heretic.films for having me sit on a dolly and see Willem Dafoe perform his heart out in front of a lens, on a Sunday, in a small tavern somewhere in Athens. Honestly it even feels surreal typing this. Unarguably one of my most special times behind a camera! Couldn’t have pulled this off without an ever problem-solving and dedicated group of individuals who showed up and delivered in a heartbeat. Thank you all.

"The goal was to tell an emotional story from the pov of a Coca-Cola can and personify the product in a subtle way. Before the shoot I cut an animatic from existing material. We pulled hundreds of references, searching for the perfect shots to inspire the language and tone of the film. My favorite moment is the CGI droplet, which falls away from the lens and flies through the air like a spacecraft reentering earths atmosphere. Our animatic really informed how that moment could work in the film."

Square of the Unseen will be premiered in Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival. “ Είμαι πολύ χαρούμενος ότι η ταινία μας Πλατεία Αοράτων έχει επιλεγεί για το φετινό πρόγραμμα του Φεστιβάλ Ντοκιμαντέρ Θεσσαλονίκης. Η ταινία εντάσσεται στο πρόγραμμα / Ανοιχτοί Ορίζοντες . Ενα προσωπικό πρότζεκτ που δουλεύαμε τα τελευταία δύο χρόνια . Ένα μέρος που βρήκα την δημιουργική μου διαφυγή, που μοιράστηκα και δούλεψα με ανθρώπους που αγαπώ . Το πιο σημαντικό πράγμα είναι να ολοκληρώνεις κάτι γνωρίζοντας ότι όποτε το επισκέπτεσαι στο πέρασμα τον χρόνων θα εμπεριέχει όλο σου το είναι . Ένα κόσμο θεμελιωμένο με απόλυτη υπομονή και ειλικρίνεια. Ευχαριστώ όλους από καρδιάς .”

// Premiere // "Big collapses usually arrive through small lapses. We don't feel society falling apart as an idea — we feel it as inattention, exhaustion, the moment no one bothers to correct something that feels off." In @doxem 's darkly absurd short commissioned by @abfab_productions 'Something Like The End of The World', one woman's heartbreak spreads through an Athens restaurant like an emotional virus. Emma breaks down how she stripped fainting of its melodramatic embroidery to create a procedural refusal, why the 4:3 ratio functions as both intimate portraiture and surveillance apparatus, and how shooting with @evansteez in a single day gave the film its theatrical, unbroken pulse. Watch it & read our full interview with Emma over on DN now ⏯️ // Credits // Writer/Director: Emma Doxiadi — @doxem Producer: @lensman88 Producer: Kiriaki Virou — @kiwivi Production Company: AbFab Productions — @abfab_productions Cinematographer: Evan Maragkoudakis — @evansteez

Lately I’ve been noticing my left eye getting more wrinkles on the edge compared to my right eye. At first I thought it could potentially be just growing up I guess, but the unevenness didn’t make sense until very recently. Always grateful to furiously close my left eye to the world, privileged to chase in the mornings what we dream of at nights, along some wonderful individuals. However, I think this has been the first year of my life to feel even more deeply privileged to be allowed to fail surrounded by my beloveds. Building a home within, day after day, year after year. Much appreciation to all the people that made this year what it was.

Very proud to be inducted as the newest member of the Greek Society of Cinematographers (GSC). A significant milestone that portrays the acceptance and recognition of one's achievements by fellow cinematographers of the Society. The sense of belonging amongst colleagues that I have truly admired and looked up to since the dawn of my days behind a lens, is a feeling that I'm really struggling to put into words. Personal thanks to @frentzos for initiating my induction and @christinamoumouridop for the support and kind words along the way. My outmost of gratitude goes to my recommenders, Konstantinos Koukoulios, GSC (@koukoulios ), Simos Sarketzis, GSC (@simosark ) and Phedon Papamichael ASC, GSC (@papa2 ). Semantically, three individuals that I have always referenced as professionals of the craft and exceptional storytellers. Very excited for what has brought us here and for what's to come! Onto the next one!

I once took a picture of you holding a picture of me Buried it in the back pocket of my old jeans Sat on every bench, every curb and every bus stop of the world Sank the photograph deep in my fabrics so our colours never fade I washed the jeans with my own hands, hung them up to dry under raging suns Rolled them tight in my worn backpack And run so fast in them, to catch the last ferry home Rode my motorcycle crushed between metal and smoke Bumped into figures and excused myself for not being present Hung the keys of my home And carried the unbearable weight of distant lands A stranger stopped me on a street hidden from plain sight Asked for my last cigarette As I reached for my back pocket, your picture fell to the ground The colours were undying They were brighter than ever. -— Last night I dreamt in my mother tongue And you were there, taking a picture of me holding a picture of you. 1.
