  • Watch Online / Fournoi, mia gynaikeia koinonia (1983)



    Desc: Fournoi, mia gynaikeia koinonia: Directed by Alinda Dimitriou, Nikos Kanakis. With Nikos Kanakis. On the island of Fournoi in Ikaria, a researcher observes the life of the inhabitants. He has no script or questions prepared; he merely observes. The island thus comes to life before our eyes, through its people, through memories, through struggles and daily toil. On the island, men are sailors and women have taken on all the jobs that one would more conventionally expect men to perform, from construction to farm work. Alinda Dimitriou and Nikos Kanakis's camera captures the relations between the two sexes and how the division of labor is a key gear in the operation of the social machine.
