International Film Festival of Rotterdam Will Screen Greek Director’s Film ‘Unfair World’

The International Film Festival in Rotterdam will be held from the 25th of January through the 5th of February 2012. In its main section, Spectrum, the International Film Festival Rotterdam screens films by experienced directors and maestros of artistic and experimental cinema. In total, Spectrum is made up of seventy-two features and documentaries from thirty-two countries, among which appear six films supported by IFFR’s Hubert Bals Fund.

This year the film ‘Unfair World’ by Greek director Philippos Tsitos will be screened at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam.

Philippos Tsitos is already well known among festivals critics and audiences thanks to his previous works, My Sweet Home (2001) and Plato’s Academy (2009). The latter was screened in festivals worldwide (from Locarno to Los Angeles, from Venice to New York), and was one of the three finalists for the 2010 LUX Prize of the European Parliament.

Philippos Tsitos’ ‘Unfair World’ has won the Silver Shell for best director and best actor (Antonis Kafetzopoulos) at the 2011 San Sebastian Film Festival (September 16-24).

The film centres on Sotiris (Antonis Kafetzopoulos), a very unusual police interrogator who, one day, decides to forgive all those who are treated unfairly in life, going as far as risking his own career by murdering a corrupt colleague. The crime, which has only one eyewitness, Dora (Theodora Tzimou), a lonely cleaning lady, brings the two characters closer together, as they are torn between love, honesty and justice.
