Exotica, Erotica, Etc.

Evangelia Kranioti, after spending months on a fleet of merchant ships, delivers to us, the viewers, the movement of the sea and that need to mythologise the other from oneself. Exotica, Erotica, Etc is a film about seafarers, shot between 2011 and 2014, a period in which she embarked on twenty merchant ships. Alone, without her crew, she filmed over 450 hours of footage that went into the making of the documentary, which premiered at the Forum at the 2015 Berlinale.
