The renowned cinematographer Giorgos Arvanitis and the writer-screenwriter and director Elizabet Chronopoulou were hosted by the show ‘Take Your Time’ and Prokopis Agelopoulos during the 12th Chania Film Festival.
Giorgos Arvanitis, who has just arrived from Paris, where he has lived for the past 35 years, unraveled a tapestry of precious memories from a life that resembles a film—his life.
Subsequently, the multi-talented Elizabet Chronopoulou spoke about her book ‘A Life in the Light,’ which tells the story of the significant cinematographer. She described how he transitioned from Crete during the Occupation to becoming an internationally renowned cinematographer, starting from Finos Film and leading to his collaboration with the films of Theodoros Angelopoulos. She shared how, while filming, he met and collaborated with legends of world cinema.
