Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival brings you "Meet the filmmakers" episode “The Megalomaniacs”.
Interview with the director Spiros Stathoulopoulos and producer Konstantinos Vassilaros, interviewer Javier Garcia Puerto.
Come and step into the conversation and uncover the secrets behind these burning questions:
1. What was it like to make a multiple country co-production?
2. What was special about the shooting?
“We have unique characters in not very normal situations to be in,” says Konstantinos Vassilaros.
Ask no more—this interview spills the answers you didn’t even know you were chasing
“The Megalomaniacs” is a sharp and subversive satire at PÖFF. Known as one of Colombia's most prominent and original auteurs, Greek-Colombian film director and screenwriter Spiros Stathoulopoulos gained international recognition with his debut “PVC-1” (2007). The uncut cult film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. “The Megalomaniacs” marks Stathoulopoulos’ return to long-form fiction since 2022's “Cavewoman”, and continues his exploration of form, philosophy and human absurdity. Stathoulopoulos wrote and directed “Megalomaniacs”, extending his fascination with the limits of human belief, and the absurdity of spiritual and scientific dogma.

Tallinna Pimedate Ööde filmifestival toob teieni saate "Meet the filmmakers", peaosas film “Suurushullud”. Intervjuu filmi režissööri Spiros Stathoulopoulosiga ja produtsendi Konstantinos Vassilarosiga, kellega vestles Javier Garcia Puerto.
Kuula kaasa ja saa vastused nendele põletavatele küsimustele:
1. Kuidas oli teha mitme riigi kaastootmist?
2. Mis oli filmimise juures erilist?
“Meil on ainulaadsed tegelased mitte väga normaalsetes olukordades, “ väidab Konstantinos Vassilaros.
Tundub põnev? Ära muretse, vastused pole üldse kaugel…
„Suurushullud“ on terav ja õõnestav satiir selle aasta PÖFFil. Kolumbia ühe silmapaistvama ja originaalsema autorina tuntud filmirežissöör ja stsenarist Spiros Stathoulopoulos saavutas rahvusvahelise tunnustuse oma debüütfilmiga „PVC-1“ (2007). See kultusfilm esilinastus Cannes'i filmifestivalil. “Suurushullud” tähistab Stathoulopoulose naasmist pikkade filmide juurde pärast 2022. aasta filmi „Cavewoman“ ning jätkab tema uurimist vormi, filosoofia ja inimliku absurdi üle. Stathoulopoulos kirjutas ja lavastas filmi „Megalomaanid“, laiendades oma lummust inimuskumuste piiridest ning vaimsete ja teaduslike dogmade absurdsusest.
Loe filmi kohta rohkem:
