Greeks (Greek Love and Sapphic Sophistication)

A look at “Greek love” and the reality of homosexuality in Greece in 1991. Leaders of the once-called GLBT movement (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender) or simply people who dared to stand in front of the camera and speak about their lives, paint us a clear portrait – a bigger picture that might not have changed much in the last three decades.

Directed by Constantine Giannaris, Greeks (Greek Love and Sapphic Sophistication) leans on a strong ensemble — Paola Revenioti, Grigoris Vallianatos — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1991.
