<strong>Agora</strong>/<strong>Market</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> - 51st Thessaloniki IFF-<strong>2010</strong>Balkan Fund ProjectsStage FrightGreeceProduced by: PAN ENTERTAINMENTDirector: Yorgos ZoisScriptwriters:Yorgos Zois, Vassilis KyriakopoulosProducer: Maria DrandakiBudget: 800.000 euroSecured Financing: 10 %SYNOPSISTonight it’s the opening night of the most anticipated theatrical play of the year. Some guests arrive earlierbecause of a mix up in their invitations. The director asks them to wait a bit while they finish up with the lastminute rehearsal. An actor shoots his fellow actor on stage. Blood covers the floor. The actor is dead, the gun isreal. Intruders with black uniforms and masks enter the theater. The play will now continue under new direction.The intruders don’t make the usual demands; they consider themselves to be artists. They involve both theaudience and the cast, in their own interpretation of terror devised theater play. A play that will end right intime for the official premiere in front of the official guests. Until then, survival will imitate art.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTThere was this factory once, were the management suspected a specific worker for stealing. Every night thatworker would come out of the factory with an empty caddie and the security guards who searched himthoroughly from top to bottom would find nothing. Still they were all convinced that he was stealing something.The solution to this mystery is quite simple; the worker was stealing the empty caddies.Sometimes we don’t carry a message through our actions; our actions are the message.PAN ENTERTAINMENTPan Entertainment is an independent production company, which is active in all sectors of mass entertainment.It produces films, TV shows, video clips, theatrical plays, and it undertakes to organise and complete any kindof television or artistic production (events, sports, video recording of plays, etc.).Pan Entertainment’s aim is to produce high quality films and television programmes, which will meet theaudience both in Greece and abroad.PRODUCER’S CONTACT INFORMATIONPAN ENTERTAINMENTT. +30 210 6985050M. +30 6944846012info@pan.com.grdrandaki@pan.com.grwww.pan.com.gr30
