Macedonian Wedding

Μακεδονικός γάμος

Shot in Velvendo, Kozani, Takis Kanellopoulos’s first film is a short documentary on the traditional wedding customs of West Macedonia. The director’s poetic eye transforms an example of “ethnographic” cinema into a lyrical poem about people’s roots in an age-old world that is already lost. The film won Best Short Film at the 1st Greek Film Week and Best Film at the Belgrade Film Festival the following year.
