EDITOR’S NOTE. Through Kolokotronis, Yannis Smaragdis seeks to engage with one of the most recognizable figures in modern Greek history and, at the same time, with the timeless concept of freedom.
The director’s cinematic approach opens a dialogue between past and present, reminding us that great historical figures do not belong only in books but continue to offer opportunities for thought, reflection, and dialogue.
Kolokotronis, both as a historical figure and as a symbol, remains as relevant today as ever, acclaimed director Yannis Smaragdis says, with emotion, in an interview with Star of Central Greece and the program Gnosi Dia Logou. Smaragdis is also a member of the European Academy of Arts and Culture. (ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
