#pesmeidiotrop (Call Me Odd) (Short film)
Woman on bike (LR) Sofia Georgovassili Producer/Production: White Room Distribution: Diotima Casting director: Loukas Valentis Written by: Sofia Georgovassili https://diotima.org.gr/en/callmeodd-new-digital-campaign/ #callmeodd | New digital campaign The Diotima Center presents a new digital campaign about consent as part of the EQUAL_GEN project. The Diotima Center presents the digital campaign “Call me odd”, on the multifaceted concept of consent, a key concept for equal interpersonal relationships, as part of the EQUAL_GEN project. Consent culture is the term used to describe environments in which making agreements, finding common ground and respecting boundaries is the norm, both for sexual intercourses and for other daily activities. In this context, people feel that they have control of their physical autonomy and boundaries and can safely negotiate them. The two videos created in collaboration with the 4 Wise Monkeys creative agency, aim to free from the second thoughts that often overwhelm them when they try to set their boundaries. And we don’t stop there. We envision an environment, in which every woman, after every yes or no, won’t feel guilt, stress or fear on how she will be labelled. Because consent is a right, not an oddity.

Judith's Return (Experimental film)
Judith (LR) James Brennan Producer/Production: Aphids Distribution: Moonah Arts Center Casting director: James Brennan Written by: James Brennan JUDITH’S RETURN, is an experimental opera and video work created and performed by artists and people convicted of crime. It explores the virtue of courage and takes it’s title from the Raine Maria Rilke poem of the same name. The project combines the voices of current and former prisoners from Australia and Poland with multi channel video and music for church organ, synthesizer, soprano and drums. The accompanying operatic was composed by Brennan and Polish collaborator Szczepan Pospieszalski and it’s libretto is taken from Rilke’s poem. Inspired by the imaginative world of incarcerated people, Judith’s Return reclaims virtue in a contemporary setting. It takes as it’s muse the Old Testament biblical heroine and murderess Judith, and explores the personal and ethical issues surrounding an act of courage. Current and former prisoners are cast as philosophers who dissect the story, at times this echoing their own experiences, regrets and hopes. The result is an emotionally devastating performance that shatters judgments around convicted peoples capacity to live morally and ultimately asks viewers to consider the limits of liberty . The work has been created in partnership with Białołęka Prison, Warsaw, one of Europes largest detention centres. Working with a Polish translator and sound recordist, Brennan ran a six week program in the prisons gymnasium with nine men currently imprisoned at Białołęka. The prisoners were invited to contribute as experts and discuss their own ideas on crime and virtue. From these unrehearsed conversations that drew on personal experiences, Polish history and the moral codes of the street, a moving and philosophical narrative voice emerges.

At Home in Gaza and London (Theater recording)
Lia (LR) Julian Maynard Smith Producer/Production: LIFT & Waterman's Utopia Casting director: NA Written by: Taghrid Choucair-Vizoso Artists in London and Gaza are to launch a series of simultaneous, live-streamed performances this month in an attempt to connect people living under severe blockade in the coastal enclave with international audiences in Britain. Performers will use video projection as a backdrop to simulate walking through each other’s homes and streets, and interact as if they were in the same room, even as they are separated by 2,000 miles. The show’s producers say At Home in Gaza and London explores “survival tactics, creative impulses and coping mechanisms that sustain those living in Gaza, while at the same time celebrating a temporary release via the technological innovation of a working space, a playing space, without borders”. It is led by Station House Opera, a UK-based theatre group that has operated concurrent performances across the globe, including in Brazil and Singapore. However, Gaza is one of the most inaccessible places on earth, with neighbouring countries Israel and Egypt strictly limiting freedom of movement. Many Palestinians living there have never left the 140 sq mile strip of land.
