Can  we make documentary films without a story? We use to define documentary film as a genre that tells real stories about real people. But what if we eliminate the “narrative” component of a non-fiction movie?

For many years I was extremely embarrassed to send my work to festivals. I considered the awards to be useless, predictable and rigged trophies that only those with a vibrant ego needed.

Following the screening of my latest documentary at the Peloponnesus documentary film festival, I was asked if I could give a master class to the audience of this festival. Thinking about it, it was difficult for me to specify a topic in which I felt expert. Although I direct and produce documentary artisans for a decade, I do not consider myself a specialist in anything in particular. This is how I decided to focus precisely on an artisan way of understanding cinema.
