The program “Our Town” with Themis Rodamitis welcomes filmmaker Penny PanagiThemis Rodamitisotopoulou, on the occasion of her new feature film, Wishbone.
Panagiotopoulou introduces us to her distinct directorial vision, sharing insights into the journey of Wishbone—a film that was recently awarded the Best Director Prize at the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival.
She speaks about personal time and what she describes as “empty time”—two concepts that shape the trajectory of this evocative film. The conversation also revisits her earlier critically acclaimed works, Hard Goodbyes: My Father and September, both of which were warmly embraced by critics and audiences alike.
In addition, the filmmaker shares some of her favorite music and reflects on her work across television, literature, and photography, as well as the travels and cities that have left a lasting impression on her.
Produced and presented by Themis Rodamitis
