What is the lasting legacy of Panos Koutras's 2009 trans narrative Strella: A Woman's Way in today's gender and sexual identity activism in Greece? What was the role of cultural collectives in the formation of a 'weird history' of Greek cinema? And how did cinema and other cultural forms respond to a sense of Crisis and an ever expansive management of life that we have now learnt to call biopolitics? This book uses such questions in order to establish a cinematic and cultural history of Greece during the last difficult decade in an engaged and highly original manner. It focuses on key films from the post-2009 'New' or 'Weird Wave' of Greek cinema, proposing the Greek Weird Wave as a paradigmatic cinema movement of biopolitical realism. At once representing, reframing and reimagining the present, the Greek Weird Wave points to a much larger development in World Cinema"-- |c retailer's description
