This biographical drama, selected as the Best Film in Thessaloniki International Film Festival, tells the life story of the folk painter Theophilos Chatzimichail, who was discovered after his death. In his works, where he processed traditional Greek motifs, Theofilos told stories from mythology and everyday life. Despite having no formal education, he developed progressive techniques that could compete with contemporary painters, making him one of the most important figures in Modern Greek art.
Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.
