Minore is a found footage film, consisting mostly of (edited and manipulated) 8mm and Super 8mm family movie clips. It is inspired by “Smyrneiko Minore” (and Marika Papagikas’ voice), a traditional song first recorded in 1918.

Minore, on one hand, is a meditation on the affiliation between audio and moving image. Moreover, it is my attempt for a vague description of something lost; not of a vivid recollection or a distant age, but of a missing connection, a forgotten relation to the world.
