‘’The Eleusinians’’ will premiere in the closing ceremony of 2023 Eleusis Cultural Capital of Europe

Almost two decades after “Mourning Rock”, the monumental film for the City of Eleusis, Filippos Koutsaftis returns to meet the city’s reality. The new film is a dynamic portrayal in the form of a mosaic which enriches and places within the framework of a grand narrative, the little stories told by its inhabitants about their life and relationship with the city. His depiction of Eleusina as a vast collection of individual portraits is such as to give the term anthropography an almost literal dimension in that the city is essentially the sum total of its citizens, both eponymous and anonymous, past and present, living and dead.
