Birds (Or How to Be One)
Babis Makridis IFFR 2020 81′

Essay-like contemplation on the desire for freedom inspired by a play by Aristophanes in which people wish to become birds.
That sensation in your tummy on a swing, that's a deeply rooted, evolutionary desire to fly like the birds. This cinematic essay is a contemplation, a voyage of discovery searching for freedom. And perhaps also an indictment of the obstacles on our way to freedom.
Pity
Babis Makridis IFFR 2018 97′

Absurdist drama with a dash of black humour about an anti-hero who is only happy if he is sad. Everything goes fine as long as his wife is in a coma. When she unexpectedly awakens, things go wrong. He has become addicted to sympathy and must at all costs be pitied.
L
Babis Makridis IFFR 2012 87′

A man lives and works in his car. He meticulously, dutifully works as its driver until, one day, a New Driver is employed. Absurdist-existentialist film about bears, the best honey and the importance of wearing the right footwear.
