SimiTitanikos

The hot summer of '98. The "TITANIC" was on top... SEMITIS was at the bottom... But then the two abstract concepts turned upside down and tied themselves together like a knot. This is how the Karavi project came about. "Simititanic." The only "project" of public interest that was constructed in Greece without... a starter motor. It was made exclusively from transparent, traditional, pure inspection materials... such as satire, laughter, humor, and music. It is a project that calls a spade a spade. It vertically restructures the structures of inspection and horizontally probes the schizophrenia of the modern Greek, deeply marking the "Is" and "Appears" of our socio-political "Becoming."

Directed by Fotis Metaxopoulos, Kostas Kimoulis, SimiTitanikos leans on a strong ensemble — Stathis Psaltis, Panos Mihalopoulos, Eleni Filini — 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 comedy titles of 1998.
