ANAPARASTASIS: THE LIFE AND WORK OF JANI CHRISTOU (1926-1970)

Jani Christou (1926-1970) stands among the greatest figures of 20th century avant-garde music, though to many he remains unknown. With his early death in a tragic accident, the world of contemporary music lost one of its most thrilling and provocative talents. The documentary illustrates the personality and the spirit of this great thinker of art and follows the trajectory of his short life, which was always interwoven with art and his contribution to humanity and civilization. Through the presentation of the composer’s works, rare audiovisual material and interviews with friends and collaborators, the film brings us closer to the mystery that this great artist left behind and makes us wonder about all the great moments of art that the circumstances of the times often hide in their shadows.
