Watching the familiar streets of Thessaloniki in Greece that I frequently strolled between 1977 and 1990 brings happy memories of the time when Greece was an economic super power of the Balkans… and I am so glad that the EU didn’t manage to kill the eternal flame of art lovers in this country (and the ancient city) as they killed the economy and freedom. Love for real art unites; art (or anything else) for love of money divides and on a long run destroys! And this short documentary, as well as the work of its subject Stavros Kioutsioukis, is a real and very well made art. Tight and neat… and very sweet! Peter, thank you for the opportunity to watch this, it was a real pleasure! You are younger than my oldest granddaughter, but you managed to fit the feel of the past times memories that were always imbedded in my psyche as pleasant nostalgic experiences. No wonder, our hero is stuck in the 60'70 and 80's - they were the best times in this part of the world! Continue the great work… looking forward to see what’s next.
