A Still Sunrise 2017

Abstract

A Still Sunrise (2017) is the mid point short film produced during the PhD research of Iakovos Panagopoulos in the University of Central Lancashire with the title: "Reshaping Contemporary Greek Cinema Through a Re- evaluation of the Historical and Political Perspective of Theo Angelopoulos's Work”. Iakovo’s in his phd research is suggesting a new wave of contemporary political Greek cinema through a revaluation of the work and techniques of Theo Angelopoulos. The short film A Still Sunrise (2017) is a practical way that Iakovos could test these techniques before moving to his final project Flickering Souls Set Alight (2019).

Plot: Locked into an abusive marriage, Janice is still struggling to come to terms with the loss of her son. Unable to leave her home and suffering daily abuse from her husband, Ben.
