Αυτή που ακούει (she who listens)
IN PROGRESS
Production: Films out there
The short experimental documentary The Woman Who Listens is a work-in-progress exploring the everyday life of a woman in mountainous Chios. Against the backdrop of the looming threat of mining projects in the area and the wildfires of Volissos, Sofia spends her days listening to her exuberant husband, who endlessly monologues on every possible subject. Sofia does not speak—she listens and observes. As Diomedes unfolds his rhetorical talent, her face becomes a map of female experiences, scents, and sensations. The film’s gaze meets Sofia’s, as she encounters animals and plants—sometimes to admire them, sometimes to care for them, but above all to protect them.
