Athens, 2024
“Looking for Vrysaki” is a short film by Marc Ghazali, Manon Harvey, and Georgia Psarrou. It invites the visitors of Athens’ busiest quarter to imagine Vrysaki, a neighbourhood lost to time and the archaeologist’s trowel. In doing so, this film explores one of the spectres haunting the Greek psyche – the glorified ancient past ready to, at any moment, cannibalize the living present.The film was made during the Athens Summer School in Visual Ethnographic Practices of 2024 organized by Ethnofest – Athens Ethnographic Film Festival in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam.The film was selected as part of the 15th edition of Ethnofest.
