LOGLINE
Transgressing thwarting political turmoil and fiery circumstances, Milton and Ianaki Manakia filmed the very first documentary images of the Balkans, becoming witnesses of a radically changing social and political landscape. A subjective look at the first “objective” images shot in the region at the turn of the XXth century and at the lifestory of the two people behind these images.

This project was developed in ARCHIDOC - a documentary workshop run by La Femis, France and sponsored by the MEDIA programme of the European Union.
