Director Statement

"Pluto" was created approximately in a month 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 had to be two to six minutes long. The themes of "Pluto" include the fears femme people face in our patriarchal societies in contrast to the absence of fear in a utopian world, as well as alienation, friendship and fighting for your rights.
