Συγκεκριμένα κάθε βράδυ σε μια ξεχωριστή (ή και 2) μαγική τοποθεσία, από την Βαυρώνα μέχρι την Αλθέα θα στήνουμε τα πανιά μας για να δούμε υπέροχες ταινίες. Οι προβολές θα ξεκινάνε από τις 20.30 και θα τελειώνουν στη 1.00! Θα κοιμόμαστε in situ και σας προσκαλούμε για αυτή την εμπειρία.

ΗΜΕΡΑ ΠΡΩΤΗ
22.20 Μια ζωή σε θυμάμαι να φεύγεις της Φρίντα Λιάππα
Θα ακολουθήσει το υπέροχο Μια ζωή σε θυμάμαι να φεύγεις της Δρίντα Λιάππα. Μια ταινία με έντονα στοιχεία διεκδίκησης της ισότητας των δύο φύλων, σε ένα αδιόρθωτο ελληνικό πλαίσιο.
Και τέλος το I am Keiko του Sion Sono, μια μυθοπλαστική αυτοβιογραφική ταινία μιας κάποιας Keiko! Η ποίηση και οι εμμονές του Sion Sono, εδώ στις πιο μελαγχολικές οκτάβες της φιλμογραφίας του.
ΗΜΕΡΑ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΗ
21.30 Mal-ander του Paul de Mol
22.30 Blight of humanity του Marian Dora
Στη συνέχεια της βραδιάς θα δούμε ένα παντελώς άγνωστο διαμάντι, το Mal-ander του Paul de Meno. Όσοι αναζητούν ταινίες που να μοιάζουν με το θρυλικό Begotten, έχουν πολλούς λόγους να δουν αυτή την ταινία. Η βραδιά θα κλείσει με το Blight of Humanity του Marian Dora. Ενός σκηνοθέτη που έχει κάθε τρόπο να προκαλεί ναυτία στο συναίσθημα. Από τους ελάχιστους δημιουργούς που αντιμετωπίζουν απειλές θανάτου. Και από τους τεράστιυος δημιουργούς που μπορούν να παράγουν αξιομνημόνευτα έργα μέσα από το gore, το thrash και το παντελώς unpolitical correct!
22/8 ΟΡΥΧΕΙΟ ΔΙΨΕΛΙΖΑΣ
(Σημαντική πληροφορία, όπως και να σας φέρνει το google maps, να έρθετε από την 25ης Μαρτίου, αλλιώς ο δρόμος είναι αρκετά κακός)
21.45 Αφιέρωμα σε μικρού μήκους ταινίες του Jun Kurosawa
22.55 Play Dead! του Matthew Lancit
(Σημαντική πληροφορία, όπως και να σας φέρνει το google maps, να έρθετε από την 25ης Μαρτίου, αλλιώς ο δρόμος είναι αρκετά κακός)

22.00 Katatsumori της Naomi Kawase
23.00 The Flower from the Sea της Miho Nagaya
Ο Άγιος Ιωάννης ο Πρόδρομος βρίσκεται σε μια τοποθεσία περιτριγυρισμένη από εγκαταλελειμμένα ξενοδοχεία και εγκαταστάσεις. Ο ίδιος είναι επίσης εγκαταλελειμμένος. Με την κλασσική του αρχιτεκτονική υπόσχεται μια μυσταγωγική εμπειρία. Ενώ στη συνέχεια της βραδιάς θα μεταφερθούμε σε γειτονικό ξενοχοείο (250 μέτρα) για να συνεχίσουμε το πρόγραμμά μας. Το ανώνυμο εγκαταλελειμμένο ξενοδοχείο προσφέρει άνετο ύπνο και σκιασμένες εκτάσεις. Η θάλασσα είναι πάλι αρκετά κοντά μας. Όπως και το ιερό του Ποσειδώνα. Για όσους αποφασίσουν να έρθουν από το ορυχείο Διψέλιζας η απόσταση είναι περπατήσιμη, και είναι 17 χιλιόμετρα.

22.00 Memoria των Daniele Ciprì και Franco Maresco
Pugnant bids farewell to its beloved month of August with a five-day pilgrimage of screenings, taking place in the outskirts of Lavrio from August 20 to 24!
Each night, in a different magical location (sometimes two), from Vavrona to Althea, we will set up our screens to watch wonderful films. Screenings will start at 20:30 and end at 01:00! We will sleep in situ, and you are invited to join us in this experience.
This event is much more relaxed. It’s not even an event—it’s a pilgrimage. That means everything will be a bit looser. Our screens… the films will be screened with English subtitles. Some films will also be shown from links available online.
Anyone who wishes to present something (music, performance, dance, storytelling) will have time and space within the 24 hours, before or after the screenings (preferably before). Send us a message to coordinate, and we’ll let you know about the unique features of each location.
WHERE
Various locations, see daily schedule below.
WHEN
20–24 August
Free Admission
DAY ONE – 20/8 VAVRONA WETLAND

Schedule
20:30 – Toto Who Lived Twice by Daniele Ciprì & Franco Maresco
22:20 – A Life I Remember You Leaving by Frida Liappa
23:15 – I am Keiko by Sion Sono
The screenings will begin with the wonderful Toto Who Lived Twice, an early, vitriolic work from this explosive Sicilian duo—depicting corruption and stupidity in Sicily, which may feel uncomfortably close to home.
Next will be the beautiful A Life I Remember You Leaving by Frida Liappa, a film with strong feminist themes set in an irredeemably Greek context.
We’ll end with I am Keiko by Sion Sono, a fictionalized autobiographical portrait filled with poetry and obsession, here in some of the most melancholic tones of his filmography.
Location info:
Google Maps link
The Vavrona Wetland is right by the sea, with shelter in an abandoned building offering 24/7 shade, and magical views of both the sea and the wetland. Nearby: Vavrona Archaeological Museum and the Temple of Artemis. Accessible by bus from Nomismatokopio Metro Station.
DAY TWO – 21/8 SPYRIDIO FOUNDATION
Exact location: Google Maps link
Schedule
20:30 – Short films by Paul De Nooijer
21:30 – Mal-ander by Paul de Mol
22:30 – Blight of Humanity by Marian Dora
The night begins with a tribute to Paul De Nooijer, a major figure in experimental cinema, known for his DIY film studio with his son Meno and collaborations with legendary experimental artists like Frans Zwartjes and Jerry King Musser.
Next is the little-known gem Mal-ander by Paul de Mol—a must-see for fans of the legendary Begotten.
We finish with Blight of Humanity by Marian Dora, a filmmaker famous for provoking emotional nausea, death threats, and unforgettable works through gore, trash, and utterly unpolitical correctness.
Location info:
Google Maps link
The Spyridio Foundation is one of the most impressive and mysterious buildings—perched like a lighthouse on a rock, crumbling outside but baroque inside. Was it a sect? An artistic commune? A reincarnation hub for oxen? No one knows. It offers shade, sea views, and is only 16 km from Vavronas wetland.
DAY THREE – 22/8 DIPSELIZA MINE
Exact location: Google Maps link
(Important: Arrive via 25th Martiou Street; other routes are poor.)
Schedule
20:30 – Woman and the Glacier by Audrius Stonys
21:45 – Short films by Jun Kurosawa
22:55 – Play Dead! by Matthew Lancit
We start with Woman and the Glacier, a meditative, human-centered work filmed in the untouched peaks of Tian Shan.
Then, short films by Jun Kurosawa—almost always bodily in nature, visually striking, and unique.
Finally, inside the cold mine, Play Dead!—a bizarre film starting as the diabetic director’s autobiographical portrait before descending into gore exploring every possible health disaster for a diabetic.
Location info:
Google Maps link
One of Lavrio’s largest mines—a labyrinth, though we’ll stay near the entrance. Inside is truly cold for the season—jackets advised. Outside are spectacular (but dangerous) shafts—bring a flashlight! Close to Lavrio and 14 km from Spyridio.
DAY FOUR – 23/8 SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST
Exact location:
Google Maps link
Schedule
20:30 – Half Elf by Jón Bjarki Magnússon
22:00 – Katatsumori by Naomi Kawase
23:00 – The Flower from the Sea by Miho Nagaya
The night begins inside the abandoned church of Saint Ioannis Prodromos, with Half Elf—a tender meditation on preparing for the inevitable loss of loved ones.
Then Katatsumori, in which Naomi Kawase observes her beloved grandmother Uno, capturing emotional and generational shifts.
We end with The Flower from the Sea, Miho Nagaya’s poetic portrait of her grandmother, blending memories, emotions, and events.
Location info:
Google Maps link
Surrounded by abandoned hotels and facilities, the church offers a mystical experience. Afterwards, we move to an abandoned hotel 250 meters away for sleep. Sea and the Temple of Poseidon nearby. 17 km from the mine.
DAY FIVE – 24/8 THE GIANT OF ALTHEA
Exact location: Google Maps link
Schedule
20:30 – Neko-mimi by Jun Kurosawa
22:00 – Memoria by Daniele Ciprì & Franco Maresco
22:50 – Static by Mark Romanek
he last night of this five-day pilgrimage will begin with Neko-mimi by Jun Kurosawa. An in limbo bodily experience with nightmarish tendencies and, at the same time, cinema of attraction!
Next, we will watch Memoria by the vitriolic Daniele Ciprì and Franco Maresco. This film is also full of satire. But at the same time, there is no narrative intention whatsoever. The viewer is confronted with the monstrous in a way one could say is akin to Oedipus.
Finally, the last film will be Static by Mark Romanek. Mark Romanek is known for his collaboration on music videos for Madonna, as well as for films that knocked on the door of the Oscars. For many of these reasons, we do not love him. In his youth, however, he made an infinitely silly film—Static! A film I screened for years to my dearest ones to test our friendship!
INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCATION
https://maps.app.goo.gl/e2fkBugDkRGfjC5S7
The Giant of Althea is located in Althea and is an unrealistically huge building. Abandoned facilities stretching in length, height, width. Certainly one of the largest buildings I have seen in Greece. It is very close to the sea. It has a wonderful view. It offers comfortable shaded sleeping space and is located 27 kilometers from the church of Saint John the Baptist. However, if you find yourself in Palaia Fokaia (14 km), there is a city bus that serves the area. Also, a city bus serves from the Argyroupoli metro station.
