When Forever Dies

When Forever Dies

61st TIFF: Greek premiere

For every film we’ve watched there are countless others we’ve missed: forgotten classics, hidden gems, reels stuffed in dusty attics. This kaleidoscopic mosaic of archival images – silent movies, newsreels, animation, advertising, experimental films, propaganda, and educational shorts – miraculously weaves a narrative that unfolds a tale of amour fou sliding into abysmal hatred. A mesmerizing cinematic collage that pays tribute to the power of imagery, mirroring the perpetual flow of time.
