Von der hinteren Coverseite

Antoinetta Angelidi directed four full-length fiction films: Idées Fixes / Dies Irae (1977), Topos (1985), The Hours: A Square Film (1995) and Thief or Reality (2001), which have been screened at international film festivals and contemporary art museums.Angelidi’s work has become synonymous with Greek Experimental Cinema, while her films and her theoretical writings have been the subject of numerous film courses, critical essays and retrospectives. The inversion and juxtaposition of codes, as well as the dream-mechanism and the uncanny, comprise her main creative strategies. The complexity of cinematic heterogeneity and the narrative multiplicity of different filmic elements which characterize her work are examined in depth in this edited collection dedicated to Antoinetta Angelidi’s oeuvre.Penny Bouska is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Film at Aristotle University of ThessalonikiSotiris Petridis is a Postdoc Researcher at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
