400 Cassettes
Faye and Elly leave high school behind for a summer under a sky full of stars. But are they living in the moment, or in a past that’s only just coming to light?
Filled with cassettes, camcorders and a 1985 new wave jam by Alive She Died, this cosmic coming-of-age tale unfolds in a seaside Greek town where the past and the present appear to be bleeding into each other, and where two best friends’ contemplation of the night sky might even summon something supernatural. At once ancient and youthful, Thelyia Petraki’s short is writ with magic and mystery.
