Filmmaking is a constant improvisation from many aspects. In most of my films I had no idea how it would end. I just trusted myself and in a way I let myself free in front of the image wealth of the hidden cinematic moments. There is a lot of fear in that, and it is really painful sometimes not knowing what are you doing -where it is heading at all. But I have understood that this is a much more stimulative process that fits my personal way of interpreting reality.

Pigs
Pigs


Konstantina Kotzamani

Greece
2010 /0:25:30

A maturation trip, the childish nightmare of K. In a wooden house, she revives her childhood’ s fears and desires and experiences her sexual awakening. A dreamy wandering constructed by the tale of three little pigs, a distorted view of her own family.

A woman receives letters from a strange man. Present and absent this man knows every little detail of her life. The new postman arrives at this place. The characters live separately without any connection. However seem to interweave their lives in an unusual way.

Morning Prayers
Morning Prayers


Konstantina Kotzamani, Katarina Strankovic

Bosnie-Herzégovine
2014 /0:18:00

A boy and a girl meet in club’s toilet. High on drugs, they walk the streets of Sarajevo aimlessly. They end up in an apartment, fooling around, making out. Until this careless atmosphere is interrupted by someone else’s presence.

Washingtonia
Washington


Konstantina Kotzamani

Greece
2014 /0:07:00

Washingtonia starts when the giraffes heart can no longer be heard. Washingtonia is an alternative name for Athens, a place where people, like animals, fall into summertime sadness because of the heat. Washingtonia is the only palm tree that its heart is not devoured by the red beetle. Because it's heart is small and dry and no one likes small and dry hearts.

Yellow Fieber
Yellow Fever


Konstantina Kotzamani

Greece
2015 / 0:17:00

Athens was covered by a strange yellow dust. At first everyone thought it was sulfur but a few hours later the “Yellow Fieber” erupted. No one expected what was about to happen, no one could tell that the city would turn into a forest of palms. Yellow Fieber is a story of the loss of a city.
