euforia
Euforia Project (European Films For Innovative Audience Development) was a project of transnational cooperation funded by the European Union. Whithin its frame, in 2016-2017, a series of actions under the title "Cinema Routes" was organised by the Thessaloniki Cinema Museum and the Thessaloniki Film Festival.
Our laboratory, Museolab, took part in the Euforia project by materialising smaller projects in the city of Mytilene. Two individual documentary films were created, in which unaccompanied refugees under 18 years old participated. The first one, entitled "Mytopia", was created by a group of young refugees of the Mytilene Night School, and the second one, entitled "It's all Greek to me", was created by pupils of the NGO Iliaktida.
Eleni Galani and Niovi Zorba, members of Museolab, contributed in their production as consultant directors, writers and editors. The main aim of the participants was to document "the other" as they percieved it while living in Mytilene, without capturing on screen the drama and the hardship of the people, but focusing instead on the dreams, the hopes and the life of each minor, no matter where one came from. These documentary films are the effort of the unaccompanied refugees related to the project to imprint on camera, with their own eyes, feelings and impressions combing their present with their past and their future.
