The main full length film (amongst other short films) was <em>\u039c\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03ac \u0391\u03b3\u03b3\u03bb\u03af\u03b1<\/em>, known as <em>Little England,<\/em> in English. The film spoke to me as I feel it did to everyone else attending the film festival. <em>Little England <\/em>is based in Greece at the beginning of the interwar period and ends in the 1950s. While the film focuses on the Saltaferou family and their trials and tribulations, the main focus is on the sisters Orsa and Moscha Saltaferou and their love for the same man, Spyros Maltabes. Don\u2019t be fooled by this description, this isn\u2019t any normal love triangle. Unlike other films that show love triangles as almost something you wish to have in your love life. <em>Little England<\/em> displays the unhappiness that can be presented in arranged marriages, family secrets and having to \u2018share\u2019 your true love with another loved one. There is a saying \u201cIf you truly love something, set it free.\u201d <em>Little England<\/em> exemplifies that statement, but also shows the results of it, negative and positive. Nevertheless, <em>Little England <\/em>is a phenomenal film and highly relatable by anyone who has grown up in a household with parents or grandparents who tell stories of the \u2018old country\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The cinematography is also worth mentioning. The camera tended to focus on objects or features which weren\u2019t important to the scene, making what was going on seem distant or disconnected. A lot of close up shots of Orsa helped show the emotion in her eyes and many distant shots help show the relationship status between characters, usually showing their closeness, distance or body language towards each other.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, <em>\u039c\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03ac \u0391\u03b3\u03b3\u03bb\u03af\u03b1 <\/em>is a laughing film, a crying film and a must see film for those yet to discover the 4 meanings of love, in a Greek life.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-indent: 20px;width: auto;padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px;text-align: center;font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;color: #ffffff;background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px;cursor: pointer\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviewed by Katrina Storton.
