The atrium of the new City Hall of Patras on the evening of Tuesday, July 30, was transformed into one of the largest summer movie theaters to accommodate the dozens of friends of the Cinema who watched the sensational film by Emmanuel Nico (awards at Cannes), “With her eyes Dalva”.
The award-winning director has produced a robust coming-of-age and identity-searching drama that sensitively handles current psychological and social issues through a case of child sexual abuse.
The creator, in her daring feature film debut, brought to the fore with cruelty and at the same time with sensitivity, a “reversed” coming-of-age story, which is illuminated by the strong performances of the protagonists.
The cinephiles of Patras saw coming to the fore a child who lived for years an uninterrupted traumatic experience, forced to behave as an adult and now, with the help of the new environment, is called upon to recover his childhood and become a child again.
The protagonist is twelve-year-old Dalva who lives with her father, who is arrested by the police for chronic sexual abuse. She ends up in a special juvenile facility, stubbornly refusing to accept the charges against him…
Starring: Alexis Manedi, Zelda Samson, Fada Girassi
The film will be re-screened on Thursday, August 1st at the Educational Activities Park in Municipal Plaz and on Sunday, August 4th in Psathopyrgos.
“Real truths, the life of Estella”
“Real truths the life of Estela de Carlotto”, the iconic and award-winning at the Valladolid – Seminci Festival (Official Selection), Nicolá Gil Lavedra’s film, will be screened at 9.30 this evening, Wednesday 31 July, in the atrium of the new Town Hall of Patras.
The film tells the life of the human rights activist, president of the “Grandmothers of May Square” in Argentina and is dedicated to the missing persons of the dictatorship in the country and their children.
It refers to the military coup that replaced the country’s constitutional government.
It also describes the policies of terrorism and violation of human rights that they implemented every day, while within a few years thousands of citizens, mainly dissidents, of different ages and social classes mysteriously disappeared, while others were murdered.
Among the victims of the regime were young women, young children and unborn babies. Women who were pregnant during their arrest gave birth in prisons and their babies after they were kidnapped were given for adoption to soldiers and people friendly to the regime.
Estella was a middle-class lady who divided her time between her family and her job as a school principal and lived completely removed from any political activity. However, after the kidnapping and murder of her daughter, Laura, between 1977 and 1978, and the disappearance of her grandson Guido, who was being held by his captors, her life changed completely.
