The work Hands intoxicated Happy emerged from a collective research process within the framework of the workshop Beyond the Screen: anthropogeographic narrative & expanded cinema. For four days, the workshop participants, together with the filmmaker and visual artist Katerina Markoulaki (ASTRO creative archive & cultural research collective), jointly explored the anthropogeography of Anafi, shared experiences, came into contact with the complex history of the island, reflected on the small and large contradictions of the Greek summer, tourism & gentrification, and drew out landscapes of collective and personal memory of the island as a place of exile. Here, Markoulaki creatively reconstructs the materials and reflections of the research in a cinematic installation that attempts to talk around all the above, opening a field of dialogue with the local community and its history.Images from the island’s daily life and its inhabitants, interwoven with the thoughts and observations of the researcher-artists, as well as historical references, such as the death of the resistance fighter and exile on Anafi, Ilektra Apostolou.
