This 15 minutes, Super 8, 18 fps film, was made in 1967 and it was it's creator's first movie. The main characters are played by Marios and Paul Lefteriotis and it was the 4th award winner at the 1969 Greek Amateur Cine Club Festival. This movie was an imitation of the modern cinema, by which M.L. was testing his newly acquired knowledge on shooting and editing films.

Αυτή η διάρκειας 15 λεπτών ταινία, έγινε το 1967, σε φιλμ Super 8 και 18 καρρέ ανά δτλ. , και είναι η πρώτη ταινία του Μάριου Λευτεριώτη. Παίζουν ο ίδιος και ο Παύλος Λευτεριώτης
Πήρε τον πρώτο έπαινο στο φεστιβάλ ερασιτεχνικού κινηματογράφου που έγινε από την Ε.Λ.Ε.Κ. (Ελληνική Λέσχη Ερασιτεχνικού Κινηματογράφου) στην αίθουσα του φιλολογικού συλλόγου "ΠΑΡΝΑΣΣΟΣ" το 1969 (πρόεδρος κριτικής επιτροπής ο συγγραφέας και σκηνοθέτης του Ελληνικού κινηματογράφου Γιώργος Τζαβέλλας). Είναι μιά απομίμηση των ταινιών δράσης του σινεμά, στην οποία ο Μ.Λ. δοκίμαζε τότε τις καινούργιες γι'αυτόν γνώσεις του, επάνω στις τεχνικές λήψης και μοντάζ του κινηματογράφου.

This is a short tribute to the amateur Filmmakers of the last 40 years, by MARIOS LEFTERIOTIS marios-videos.blogspot.com/,
3dmarios.blogspot.com/
You may watch short films and videos, amongst them REQUIEM. You will see S8 and 16mm films, videos and digitally made movies, and perhaps you will recall your creative days of film-making and these years of the sixties and seventies, when thousands of aspiring new amateur filmmakers, worldwide, with a small 8mm camera in hands, were shooting their "masterpieces", in a 3 minutes 8mm reel, which they had to wait for 2 weeks to see it processed and ready for projection.
And yet, from some of those short movies, the so called modern artistic cinema, got many fresh ideas about shooting and editing films !
The movies you are going to watch, present the CINE's activities of M.L. who is Construction Engineer, Photographer and Filmmaker. He started as an amateur moviemaker and in a few years his films were shown on TV and at many festivals, internationally. The most interesting of his movies is REQUIEM (1970) for its avant-garde style, which maintains its originality even today, nearly 40 years after it was made !

The list of films and videos is (chronologically) :
THE HOBBY (1967)
CORFU the island of NAFSIKA (1969)
DIASPASI -- SEPARATION (1969)
REQUIEM for Humanity (1970)
CORFU (1972)
DEMOLITION (1986)
A RIGHT TO LIVE (1986)
SANTORINI (1988)
35 YEARS (2002)
EARTH -- ZERO HOUR (2005)
Enjoy them ! ...

    This is a very interesting movie. It shows madly interesting era for me.
    Your debut film sends us to Krzysztof Kieslowski "Amator".
    You did a lot for the cinematography. I'm proud of familiarity with you.
    And you are very nice in your film. :)

    Thank you very much Irina for your good words.
    Perhaps I was nice, BUT this film was made 41 years ago !!
    For you I suppose it is a prehistoric time. Anyway to-day I am not the same (I am 70 years old), but I feel the same..
    And for me it is a great privilege to have friends like you, young people, talented, who love cinema and are working for a better movie show, because nowadays, we really need it!
  • Irina Shatalova plus 2 years ago
    Marios! The most important thing is that you feel the same!!! This pledge of health and longevity.

    Thank you for the compliment. Yes, we hope, we'll ever be at a cinema, live in a cinema and influence on a cinema as You.
    Hopefully...

    Mariya, yes, this is the prehistoric James Bond, trying to shoot his first movie ! Can you imagine these years ? We had to wait for ten days for the 3 minutes piece of film we had shot, to go to Germany or USA, be processed and return to us, in order to see it on screen. For a ten minutes short movie, we usually shot
    5 or 6 at least such film reels (to edit the final movie), and we had to wait for every one of them, ten days to see it on screen. And for the sound, NO synchronous recording. We had to produce it, after the shooting of the film, by our selves, making thousands of trials to synchronize it with the movie. Problems, problems etc, which had to be solved by just ONE FELLOW, us. Not a word, of course, for film technical laboratories which cost a fortune to use them. In a few words it was a great adventure, these times, to make a film and only ... James Bonds could get through with it !

    Marios! I perfectly understand you. We and now shooting films collide with one thousand problems. The good cinema without effort is not done. It is necessary to overcome much. But it is very good.

    Cool film, great shot composition, engaging storyline, and overall great mise-en-scene!

    One thing though, you need to de-interlace the video before uploading it (otherwise you get those horizontal lines).

    What film stock did you use and what camera?
