Mikropolis (Small Towns) – Paleo Faliro: The Window

Mikropolis (small towns) is a series of documentaries focusing on different areas of Attica, within or beyond the city limits of Athens. For each area one word – an architectural feature – has been chosen to characterize it, both visually and socially. This word guides our gaze, our choice of characters, and the elements that make up the portrait of each area.The word for the episode on Paleo Faliro is “the window.” Words, actions, and stories from the people on the beach, focusing on how they themselves and the rest of Athens see the district of Paleo Faliro: as an open window to the sea and the horizon. A lady, a descendant of one of Faliro’s oldest families; an unemployed young man; winter swimmers; tourists; immigrants walking along the promenade; fishermen, chess and backgammon players; a group of musicians; some women from Turkey and the residents of Faliro all make up a mosaic of memories and feelings against the dominant backdrop of the sea.
