Queer Strategies and Tentacles: Nostalgia (Ruins?) Acropolis
Eva Stefani
2001

25 Minutes

Date
November 25–December 8, 2024

The film explores the significance of Greece’s national symbol, the Acropolis, in the creation of national identity and collective memory. Likening the “sacred rock” to the female body, the film attempts to make a comment on the timeless exploitation of the monument, while exploring the relation of History to pornography.

This screening is part of Nostalgia (Ruins?), the second chapter of the film program Queer Strategies and Tentacles, curated by Rosa Barotsi and Zairong Xiang, and unfolding in eight chapters between November 11th, 2024 and March 2, 2025, with the films of each chapter streaming for two weeks.
