A container ship is not an inanimate object. The ship that travels thousands of miles on the high seas is full of life, stories, tragedy and hope. The harbors reached, the industrial landscape one encounters, the cargo that floats in an endless ocean. Anina is a psycho-geographic film essay, documenting the ethnographic tendencies of the industrial landscape and its malevolent stature over the individual. The shipping industry’s ever-shifting landscape, affecting even this interaction you are having with this text, crafts its own mythology. Latent Community (Sotiris Tsiganos & Ionian Bisai), NEROMANNA, 2017, 8:15 min. The film follows the story of Kallio in Fokida, a village that was expropriated in 1969 and was covered in 1981 by the waters of the artificial lake created by the Mornos dam for use as a reservoir for the city of Athens; this lake has been the main source of water for the Greek capital ever since. As a result, the village community dissolved and relocated elsewhere. The aim of the project is to present the history of Kallio and to briefly reconstitute its lost community, through a combination of relational aesthetics strategies with archival practices.
