Synopsis:
This short movie lyrically evokes the Greek soul through fragments of popular films from the 1950s and 1960s. The filmmaker superimposes and slows down her selected material to compose a hypnotizing audio-visual poem about the collective consciousness. A melancholy piano sets the tone.
Comments:
"Elsewhere, the cinema is not only not forgotten, but fervently, almost desperately held aloft. A slowed and repeated montage of 1950s Greek cinema accompanied by music, each film extract paired with a reading of an extract of Greek poetry. Return to Aeolus Street follows the Godardian line of pulling brief moments of favored cinema out of context, out of their narratives to not only forefront the aesthetic wonder and mysterious power of passing filmed movements, gestures, lightplay and details, but to re-cast cinema's monumental minutia in an expansive, poetically wide field by drilling down to these moments and holding them, trembling, alongside other cultural and political evocations. While the short seems to quietly lack a rigor somewhere in its midst, presumably, as in Godard, knowledge of the sources would serve the re-montage to cut even deeper. Shown concurrently to Mika Taanila's paracinematic programs, watching something as cinephilic—truly cinephilic, in love with film, celluloid, cinema, "We brought back these carved reliefs of a humble art"—as Kourkouta's work is to step into a shadow of sadness. With melancholy already evoked by its collection of flying, fleeing, dancing, anguished faces and bodies, it also expresses something increasingly, inherently sad about movies dedicated to movies, and celluloid dedicated to celluloid. Return often and take me, beloved sensation, return and take me…"

Awards:
- Arte European Short Award, Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, 2014 (Jury Statement: "A filmmaker performs cultural memory in her effort to reclaim a sense of belonging. With passionate use of appropriated filmic materials, poetry, text and music, this is a multilayered and evocative work of film art."
- Jury Award, Festival of Different and experimental Cinemas, Paris, 2013
