📸✨ Acclaimed Greek filmmaker, screenwriter and photographer Yorgos Lanthimos was one of the major guests at the 24th Fotofestiwal Lodz (June 12-22, 2025), the largest international photography festival in Central Europe.
On the occasion of the opening of his exhibition “Jitter Period”, the artist presented photographs from his first two photo books, Dear God, the Parthenon is Still Broken (made on the set of Poor Things, published by Void) and i shall sing these songs beautifully (created on the set of Kinds of Kindness, published by MACK).
The exhibition transferred the dreamlike, fragmentary and open-ended nature of his images to the physical space, inviting the public to experience photography as a journey without a map.
Lanthimos' participation was organized under the auspices of the Greek Embassy in Warsaw Ambasada Grecji w Polsce.

📚📚One the occasion of his latest novel "The night will fall", one of the most distinguished contemporary Greek writers Konstantinos Tzamiotis spoke to Reading Greece about the relation of #literature with its surrounding social environment, and the way the various micro-stories of his heroes are inextricably linked with the History of the world.

"It’s my firm belief that if you don’t know where you come from, you won’t know where to go next. Yet, knowing your roots can often be extremely complicated if not painful. That’s why sweet revisionism and even sweeter nostalgia prevail these days. Most of us Westerners have lived a rather easy life compared to previous generations. This has clouded and narrowed our horizons. It has made us believe that History is over and that from now on, only constant progress awaits us. But History was, is and will always be here. Especially nowadays we all understand what that means".
