Title

Antigone: Ethereal and Timeless

Creator

Papageorgopoulos, Klio

Abstract

Showcasing the juxtaposition between Antigone from antiquity and contemporary Antigone, this short film aims to unmask the independence, femininity, promiscuity and power posed by a timeless ‘Antigone.’ This Antigone is one who transcends from her actions and morals and feels liberated, autonomous and jovial. Left to the interpretation of the viewer, this short film that switches from a tragic monologue to a passionate modern Antigone embodied by Patti Smith in the background poses the following question to the viewer: Are we each a different version of Antigone, seeking to escape the norm and achieve our own sense of justice?
