Πού τελειώνει η πραγματικότητα και πού αρχίζει η φαντασία; 👑
Where does reality end and imagination begin?

Στο φετινό Psarokokalo ISFF, υποδεχόμαστε το "Idylls of the King" της Μαρκέλας Κονταράτου (@markela_kontaratou). Μια squatter σε ένα κάστρο στέφεται Βασιλιάς, περιτριγυρισμένη από λούτρινα ζωάκια και πλάσματα της φαντασίας της. Όμως, οι ρωγμές στο βασίλειό της αρχίζουν να βαθαίνουν όταν οι τραυματικές μνήμες της μητέρας-αράχνης εισβάλλουν στο παρόν.

Ένα κινηματογραφικό κολάζ συναισθημάτων και τεχνικών (συμπεριλαμβανομένου του AI animation), που δημιουργήθηκε στο Locarno Spring Academy 2025. Μια θαρραλέα εξερεύνηση του παιδικού τραύματος, της ψυχικής υγείας και της ανάγκης για ένα ταξίδι προς την εσωτερική ειρήνη.

At this year's Psarokokalo ISFF, we present "Idylls of the King" by Markela Kontaratou (@markela_kontaratou). A castle squatter is crowned King, surrounded by stuffed animals and creatures of her imagination. But cracks begin to appear in her sovereignty as traumatic memories of a "Spider-Mother" invade her world.

A cinematic collage of emotions and techniques (including AI animation), developed during the Locarno Spring Academy 2025. A bold exploration of childhood trauma, mental health, and the ultimate quest for an inner Noah’s Ark to peace.
