SMUGGLING HENDRIX - Special Mention Award Thessaloniki International Film Festival

Marios Piperides’s popular Smuggling Hendrix, exemplified the extent to which even Greek cinema’s most avowedly mainstream tributaries often still tackle many of the most contentious events and legacies of the nation’s modern history. Piperides’s film highlights the enduring scars left by the 1974 partitioning of Cyprus via the comic tale of a dog-owner’s increasingly fraught attempts to reunite with the eponymous Hendrix, a pet who strays across the island’s militarized internal border.
