​

Acropolis, 2001: Stefani in this seminal film essay focuses on the most iconic symbol of Greekness: the Acropolis. Through a juxtaposition of pornographic images, home-made super 8s and tourist film extracts, Stefani builds a subversive film collage re-negotiating the border between intimate private lives and the political public sphere.

Manuscript, 2017: Molly, the protagonist of the film invites us to walk with her inside a city founded on heavily fictionalised national myths and a hallucinogenic mish mash of disparate signifiers: lost in a city of whispers, nightmares and nationalist fantasies.

The Box, 2004: An intimate portrait of an old woman and her passionate relationship with TV presenter Nikos Chatzinikolaou. Television as a new field of emotional connections that transforms loneliness into desire and allows for new forms of relationality.
