Cross-Media Public Service – Storydoc
With the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union and the European Commission the documentary production company that is most active internationally in Greece, Anemon, led by Rea Apostolides and Yuri Averof, presented at Storydoc what they are working on: two exciting cross-media projects, which for me combine perfectly what is the original core of the documentary genre, Information, with the use of many media AND distribution and activities.
The company has just finished a fine single documentary, Sayome (financed by ERT, arte and GFC (Greek Film Centre)) directed by Nikos Dayndas, describes on their site the two projects like this:
Twice a Stranger: A cross-media project about the most significant population exchanges of the 20th century and the experience of being “twice a stranger”. Comprising of a multi-media exhibition, documentary screenings and educational programmes, it will is hosted in Athens, Nicosia and Istanbul in 2012.
A Balkan Tale: A cross-media project about the cultural legacy of the Ottoman era in the Balkans. Comprising of a photography exhibition, documentary screenings & educational programmes, it will be hosted in Athens, Belgrade, Pristina, Tirana and Skopje in 2012.
