NR“How wonderful death would be if it was offered by his hands” and “Respect the feeling of love wherever you encounter it.”, are some of Nitsa Gofa’s last words, as they were saved in her last suicide letters, just before she died at 24th of March 1925, age 17. She was a random girl. She died from love. We learn about her case from the newspaper’s archive of 1925. This movie was made mainly at the underground canals of Athens and consists of a chapel of remembrance.

NRAlmost all the caves of Attica are called Davelis caves, named after the notorious robber of the same name. However, the robber Davelis probably did not know of their existence. I made this pataphysical video to correct this logical error and restore the truth.

NRA typical night with Pugnant film series. Pugnant Film Series organizes screening events in parks, tunnels, caves, abandoned factories in Athens. In this short film piece, we watch Pugnant Film Series open up some empty houses in the center of Athens, turn them into screening rooms for a while and symbolically bring them back into the public space. This action was carried out under the motto: "The empty houses are ours to do what we want with them".

NRΙ A Ratatouille-like cook cooks in the kitchen of an abandoned neoclassical building with whatever he can find: plaster, chunks of Styrofoam, rancid oils. Two ballerinas dance ballet in this ruined kitchen, on sinks, braziers, rickety tables, in the smoke. They all love Schubert. ΙΙ A mistress tends to and tortures her dog in the living room. Two maids assist her in carrying out her will. The dog receives rewards and punishments with the same overflowing joy. Those who know recognize this living room as Trikoupi’s beach. They all love Schubert and Fassbinder.
