520 _aWhat relates the early films of Yorgos Lanthimos with Vasilis Kekatos's 2019 Cannes triumph 'The Distance Between Us and the Sky?' What is the lasting legacy of Panos Koutras's 2009 trans narrative 'Strella' and sexual identity activism in Greece? What was the role of cultural collectives in the formation of a 'weird history' of Greek cinema? And how did cinema and other cultural forms respond to a sense of crisis and an ever expansive management of life that we have now learnt to call biopolitics? This book uses such questions in order to establish a cinematic and cultural history of Greece during the last difficult decade in an engaged and highly original manner.
