Leukada, the Island of the Poets
Λευκάδα, το Νησί των Ποιητών
1958 · 16m
Directed by Roviros Manthoulis
For Leucada has no beginning, and no end…
Considered the first creative documentary in Greek cinematic history, this short homage shot by Roviros Manthoulis as his debut film on the island of Lefkada in 1958, commissioned by the Hellenic Press Office, is nothing short of a voyage through a land that takes the poetry of everyday life as its guide, since every image – be it sweeping or small – of this stunningly beautiful island is “translated” via the voice-over into a story forged from many ages of myths and traditions.
