FOR NO REASONS Meetings with Yorgos Maniatis

ΓΙΑ ΧΩΡΙΣ ΛΟΓΟΥΣ συναντήσεις με τον Γιώργο Μανιάτη

Yorgos Maniatis (1939–2018), a legionnaire in Algeria at the age of 18, an author, and later a musician, defines himself as a “public menace.” This film is not a biopic, but it rather seeks to explore the adventure of his soul: an inflammatory conscience in constant vigilance, which immolates itself. “Life changes by those who change their lives” he says.
