Overturning Cinema History
Dimitri Athanitis selects, presents and analyzes 60 films from 120 years of cinema, in a unique journey through the eyes of an auteur. He discovers unknown or less known films, treats in a new way classic masterpieces and overturns cliche values in cinema history. An absolutely unique book that rediscovers cinema in search of authenticity and highlights the magic behind faces, images, stories.
The history (and) of cinema must be rewritten, because it is not only the past but mainly the present that has been distorted, leading it to the unfathomable void, the absence of vision, aesthetics. The book bypasses categorizations and clichéd opinions, which international criticism has been ruminating on for decades now. Next to a Visconti film, you will find a considered b-movie but with a similar underground charm and, above all, uplift.
"The Seventh Continent" is absolutely original, as a concept, style, content. No genres, no categories, no chonologies.
Overturns the cinematic values as they were formed 60 years ago and consolidated. Overturns the cliche with the choices she makes, the way she treats them and also with what she omits.
