Lions at the Gateway into Night torrent

Comme des lions de pierre a l'entree de la nuit



Synopsis

Between 1947 and 1951, more than 80 000 Greek men, women and children
were deported to the isle of Makronissos (Greece) inreeducation camps
created to ‘fight the spread of Communism’. Among those exiles were a
number of writers and poets, including Yannis Ritsos and Tassos Livaditis.
Despite the deprivation and torture, they managed to write poems which
describe the struggle for survival in this world of internment.
These texts, some of them buried in the camps, were later found.
«Like Lions of stone at the gateway of night» blends these poetic writing
with the reeducation propaganda speeches constantly piped through the camps’
loudspeakers. Long tracking shots take us on a trance-like journey through
the camp ruins, interrupted along the way by segments from photographic
archives. A cinematic essay, which revives the memory of forgotten ruins
and a battle lost.
