FIRST PILGRIMAGE TO HOLY MOUNT ATHOS
Madness is gripping humanity. To keep our sanity we join Fotis Parakatselakis on his first, four day pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain, also known as Athos, or the garden of the All Holy Mother of God, the autonomous community of monks and monasteries on the easternmost of the three peninsulas of Halkidiki in the northern Aegean Sea. Women and motor cars are not allowed and permission to film is scarce. English auto subtitles available. I will talk you through it, as the images are really speaking for themselves. It is not a professionally shot video, which only adds to its private and spiritual character. It is "a journey that is not only recorded by the camera, but also with the soul" and is dedicated to those who are far away and could not come and to the women who follow, but could not go.
