Documentaries … one idea that i have: i am very interested in alternative communities, communities that are creating a better environment for themselves and they are happening all over Europe, all over the world, really. This is something i want to look into because it is something that interests me as a person, as a human occupying a space on Earth. So, something like that … there is a message but it is not anything didactic but it is sort of like showing that people are taking the initiative to do something better for themselves.

I think that as an artist and as a person - i think it is very important to be able to communicate through a common language with other people. But also, i think trying to create – i do not know, this might sound like a clichée – but [something] like a better world, like a little microcosm of people is very important for me. [By] now, i have not found a way yet to do so and i think that it is time for me to slowly move away from myself and sort of into something more collaborative and i am thinking of ways to do this. And, before i started working with video i was thinking that i want to do social documentaries and this is something in the back of my mind.

I think there is more hope in private funding. I see more and more companies - international companies, especially – funding arts – visual arts … and new media … and cinema as well.

Either you get friends to work for free or they could get some funding from some source but it would be very little, you have to be very low budget.

I think that people [in Greece] who choose to do experimental films they are independent, they do not rely on funding.

[In Greece], the funding for cinema – it is quite problematic because there is a lot of change in the board of directors – mainly the people who make the decisions. there has been a lot of upheaval about some decisions they have made and there is a new group of people coming in and they have to look over all the proposals for films. Experimental film – it is in an even worse position. Some, there are some that get some funding but very little, less than five – i would say – per year.

Basically, [in Greece] more funding is given to institutions and museums rather than individuals or galleries, [for them] it is mostly private funding and sponsoring.

The funding situation [in Greece]: it depends on the what kind of art are we talking about. Are we talking about cinema? Are we talking about theater? Are we talking about visual arts? It varies, it is not the same thing.

There are some well known artists [in Greece] who are able to get funding but most of the people i know are struggling.

With the documentary - i did it at the same time which was very hectic. I tried to shoot … i mean i was shooting for work and then i was shooting for my own documentary. So, that was really stressful. Other than that, i go through phases but if i have to, if i am inspired and i have to do something i just work around the clock,  i don’t care.
