- MY SOUL STARTLED by Syllas Tzoumerkas, producer: EAVE graduate Maria Drandaki, co-producer: EAVE graduate Nadia Trevisan is in pre-production. In his next feature-length project, Tzoumerkas is weaving a tapestry of interconnected stories in the vein of Arabian Nights. Set against the backdrop of the Dodecanese islands, the film delves into the transformation of the idyllic location under the pressure of mass tourism, uncovering the hidden underbelly of a world that was once vibrant and untainted. The story reflects both a lament for lost purity, and an examination of the islands' complex blend of paganism and Christianity. This dichotomy serves as a fertile ground for exploring mythological themes, intertwining tales of gods and titans with the lives of the characters in a way that offers new perspectives on ancient myths. The film will be shot mostly in Greece, with some scenes filmed in Italy. With development wrapped, Tzoumerkas and the producers are completing the financing, aiming to start production in 2025. MY SOUL STARTLED is a Greek-Italian-French-Austrian-Cypriot co-production being staged by Homemade Films, and co-produced by Nefertiti Film, Sister Productions, Nabis Film Group, Felony Productions and the Onassis Foundation. The project has been supported by the Greek Film Centre, ERT SA, MIC – Direzione Generale Cinema e Audiovisivo, the Nouvelle Aquitaine Regional Film Fund and Creative Europe – MEDIA.
