Experiencing Interruptions?

Epeidi

An enthusiastic androgynous voice leaves a message on 25-year-old Mina's answering machine inviting her to the best party of her life. Mina really doesn't want to go, so she tries to come up with the most outrageous excuse to get rid of the Voice once and for all. However, her mind has a surprise in store for her.

Director Statement

"Epeidi" was created in less than a month and a half (from conceiving the idea to finishing post-production) during March and April 2023 for the first short film contest "Tainies Tsepis" organized by the Greek magazine Cinematek. The contest's theme was "Saturday night" and films submitted had to be shot on a mobile phone, feature no music and have a duration of two to six minutes. "Epeidi" is a film about a person who doesn't feel she belongs, gets lost in the corridors of her mind and tries to suppress her own identity.
