Saturday, 10th of January, at 20:00 🌚✨ Farewell to the Night | Vinyl Listening Session and Photobook Presentation.
The project is a dialogue between visual artist Yorgos Yatromanolakis and music artist Ethan Syann, initiated by IIKKI, unfolding as a photobook and a disc. The work is presented through a joint book presentation and listening session, experienced as interconnected forms.

Thrilled to announce the launch of "Doesn’t the food taste a little strange to you?", the new photobook by Antonia Petriti, taking place November 12th/16th at Polycopies Paris.

"Doesn’t the food taste a little strange to you?" is a photographic book with diary-like fragments, tracing the quiet conversations between the self and the place one comes from. It begins with the family, an attempt to understand who they are, how they think, and how love, fear and guilt can live side by side. Through images and memories, it unfolds into something more inward: a reflection on identity, on how one chooses to live, and on what it means to grow without letting go. No final answers, just the slow work of understanding, accepting, and finding a place between the past and what’s next.

ΥΦΑΛΑ
Ελληνικό σινεμά κάτω από την επιφάνεια

Τα «Ύφαλα» είναι μια σειρά προβολών που επιθυμεί να φέρει στο φως άγνωστες ή λιγότερο γνωστές ταινίες του ελληνικού κινηματογράφου, εστιάζοντας σε έργα που λοξοστρατούν και διευρύνουν τις δυνατότητες του φιλμικού μέσου, μέσα από προσωπικές, μη συμβατικές και ακατάκτακτες κινηματογραφικές γραφές.

Την Παρασκευή 10 Οκτωβρίου, ώρα 20:30, στο πλαίσιο του φεστιβάλ Collective of Collectives τα Ύφαλα παρουσιάζουν πέντε μικρού μήκους ταινίες, που διερευνούν τη σχέση των δημιουργών τους με τους χώρους, τα τοπία, τις εποχές και τις πόλεις, που τους περιβάλλουν και τους καθορίζουν.

Οι προβολές είναι ανοιχτές στο κοινό με ελεύθερη είσοδο.

Προβολές: Sprouts of a dragon's teeth, Δανάη Ηώ, 9’ | Έχει η πόλη πεθάνει;, Δήμητρα Μητσάκη, 11’ | Ημερολόγια Κλίματος, Αλέκος Αλεξιάδης 15’ | Homage to Summer, Κατερίνα Μαρκουλάκη 4’ | Munich Almost Killed Me, Βέρα Χοτζόγλου & Χριστίνα Δημακογιάννη 13’

YFALA
Greek cinema under the surface

“Yfala” is a screening series that seeks to bring to light unknown or lesser-known films of Greek cinema, with a focus on films that veer off course and expand the possibilities of the filmic medium through personal, non-conventional, and atypical cinematic dialects.

On Friday, October 10, at 20:30, as part of the Collective of Collectives festival, Yfala presents five short films that explore their creators’ relationship with the spaces, landscapes, seasons, and cities that surround and shape them.

Screenings:
Sprouts of a dragon's teeth, Danae Io, 9’ | Ιs the City Died?, Dimitra Mitsaki, 11’ | Climate Diary, Alekos Alexiadis, 15’ | Homage to Summer, Katerina Markoulaki, 4’ | Munich Almost Killed Me, Vera Chotzoglou & Christina Dimakogianni, 13’

We couldn’t be more excited to announce the long-awaited launch of the collective book 'Inflorescences' this September!

'Inflorescences' bring together a diverse range of photographic works by thirty-five women photographers, representatives of the contemporary Greek photographic scene. Their works, each touching on different themes, weave a collective narrative, creating a unified body — a visual handiwork that unfolds issues shaping and defining contemporary womanhood. Drawing inspiration from the biological idiosyncrasy of inflorescences, this book aspires to be a resilient entity, one that nurtures and enhances the visibility of these artists’ work while amplifying its impact.

Artists: Eirini Angelidi, Myrto Apostolidou, Daphne Aslanidi, Erasmia Chouliara, Ioanna Chronopoulou, Danae Danika, Dimitra Dede, Maria Denise Dessimoz, Ioli Flora, Anna Georgiou, Pinelopi Gerasimou, Myrto Grigoriou, Ioanna Kofina, Smaragda Koutsoudi, Pelly Mandreka, Thekla Malamou, Alexandra Masmanidi, Ismini Mathioudaki, Mary Michou, Persephone Michou, Ioanna Natsikou, Danae Panagiotidi, Ariadne Pediotaki, Antonia Petriti, Georgia Ponirakou, Alexandra Riba, Danai Simou, Maria Siorba, Ioanna Spentzou, Despina Spyrou, Katerina P. Trichia, Myrto Tzima, Eftychia Vlachou, Ania Vouloudi, Joanna Vraka.

We’re thrilled to share our latest release!

'De tous les chemins sauvages' by Claire Amaouche

'De tous les chemins sauvages' is a journey through silence and distance, where the solitude of untamed places becomes a mirror for the inner drift of being. Disenchanted with the noise of cities and the repetition of faces, Claire Amaouche turns her gaze to what remains—traces, echoes of presence in remote landscapes. In these quiet expanses, she does not merely capture the world as it is, but intervenes—painting onto her photographs, blurring the boundary between documentation and imagination, memory and myth. What emerges is a quiet meditation on isolation, impermanence, and the strange clarity found in emptiness.

ΥΦΑΛΑ
Ελληνικό σινεμά κάτω από την επιφάνεια

Τα «Ύφαλα» είναι μια σειρά προβολών που επιθυμεί να φέρει στο φως άγνωστες ή λιγότερο γνωστές ταινίες του ελληνικού κινηματογράφου, εστιάζοντας σε μη τυπικά κινηματογραφικά έργα. Έργα που λοξοστρατούν και διευρύνουν τις δυνατότητες του φιλμικού μέσου, μέσα από προσωπικές, μη συμβατικές που δεν κατατάσσονται σε κινηματογραφικές διαλέκτους.

Μέσα από κάθε προβολή τα Ύφαλα ενεργοποιούν ξανά τις κινηματογραφικές αυτές κηλίδες και, παρουσία των δημιουργών, τοποθετούν τα έργα στο εδώ και τώρα, ανοίγοντας έναν διάλογο για το σινεμά ως πειραματισμό, χειρονομία και πεδίο αναζήτησης. Οι προβολές είναι ανοιχτές στο κοινό με ελεύθερη είσοδο.

Προβολές: Ξημερώνει Σάββατο, 6’, Αλεξάνδρα Μασμανίδη, 2023 | Ένα Αγόρι, 6’, Άλκι Παπασταθόπουλος, 2015 | H Άλλη Σελήνη, 10’, Δήμητρα Μητσάκη, 2021 | Έξοδος Λουόμενων από το Κολυμβητήριο της Αστόρια, 5’ | Δήμητρα Κονδυλάτου, 2023 | Θραύσματα, 10’, Joshua Olsthoorn, 2015

YFALA
Greek cinema under the surface

“Yfala” is a screening series that seeks to bring to light unknown or lesser-known films of Greek cinema, with a focus on non-typical cinematic works. Films that veer off course and expand the possibilities of the filmic medium through personal, non-conventional, and atypical cinematic dialects.

Each screening reactivates these scattered cinematic traces and, in the presence of the filmmakers, places the works in the here and now – opening up a dialogue around cinema as experimentation, gesture, and a space of inquiry. All screenings are free and open to the public.

Screenings: Dawn Satarday Night, 6’, Alexandra Masmanidi, 2023 | En Pojke, 6’, Alki Papastathopoulos, 2015 | The Other Moon, 10’, Dimitra Mitsaki, 2021|Bathers Leaving The Astoria Pool, 5’, Dimitra Kondylatou, 2023 | Fragments, 10 min, Joshua Olsthoorn, 2015

📖 'You can’t go home again' by Antigoni Papantoni

In her book “You can’t go home again”, Antigoni Papantoni reflects on her experiences of the past decade, feeling like a sailor adrift between cultures, gradually losing her sense of belonging. This sense of disorientation inspired her to develop an intuitive, autobiographical photography practice that explores elusive concepts of home and identity. The book unfolds as a visual road movie, mirroring a journey from unfamiliarity to intimacy.

Edition of 350 numbered copies
