Athens, Greece -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/12/2015 -- Medea Melea (Original title in Greek: Medea studies) is an experimental short film written and directed by Christos Karabelas. Through an intriguing visual approach, the independent short film focuses on the myth of Euripides, and his most famous Greek tragedy, Medea.
"Melea" means black, dark on the inside, and is the first word used in the theatre play to describe the character of Medea. The movie aims to illuminate a side on ancient drama that remains shadowed. What would happen if the three protagonists met and expressed their points of view freely, without deception or lie? What would they say if they had had the conflict that they denied each other? Featuring artistic and symbolic elements, Medea Melea portrays the course of this woman, starting from the roots of her story, when she met Jason, left her homeland and married him to her coming to Greece, where she gave birth to their children, was betrayed and decided to take revenge.
The idea of "Medea Melea" was born two years ago, when Karabelas was studying theatre directing at the Drama School of the Greek Art Theatre - Karolos Koun. He had to do a lot of research on theGreek tragedy of Medea, and as a creator he felt the need to explore these "unspeakable" truths of the characters of the play.
Karabelas will be attending the Cannes Film Festival to feature his film, meet distribution agencies/agents and network with other creators and filmmakers to learn more about the industry and reach a wider audience for his film and future films.
