Runaway Day (2013) by Dimitris Bavellas, a Black & White sci-fi drama is our first film of the year.
Synopsis
Runaway Day is shot in 16 mm black and white film in order to bring to the foreground the suffocation and despair, which is a basic element of the story (along with black humor). The visual style of the film is similar to a 60's low budget b-movie. The main difference is that, in our case, the villains are not flesh eating zombies or the Creature from the black lagoon, but the city itself and the problems that it generates to its residents.
Our main aim by writing and filming Runaway Day is to depict a mosaic of the new Greeks and how lost they feel in modern days Athens. Furthermore, we want to highlight the gradual decline and decadence of this place, an once beautiful city.
Featuring: Maria Skoula, Efthymis Papadimitriou, Errikos Litsis, Christos Stergioglou and more.
