We went to the movies, a couple of weeks ago, to see the new film of a Greek director that both and myself like very much. The name of the film is Poor Things and the director is Yorgos Lanthimos. He belongs to my generation and he is one of the very few that managed to have an international carrier and to unfold his talent without the limitations of our underdeveloped (at least when it comes to the film industry) country. Since we have practically the same age, I have followed his carrier from the very beginning and I have to say that he is extraordinary. Maybe his movies are not for everyone but for me, he is the best Greek director as we speak.
As you can imagine we were looking forward to see his new movie and we were super excited when we found out that it is coming in the one and only cinema of our little town! But life got in the way and we managed to make it to the cinema counter the last day of the screenings. We were a bit tired but we didn't want to miss it so we decided to go for it even if it was late at night and the film was going to end long after our bed time.
And then the cashier told us that they are going to extend the screenings for one more week and (it gets even better) on an earlier hour, in the afternoon! That was great news since we didn't want to spoil the experience by being too tired and sleepy. So we went home with the intention to return during the following week.
But life got in the way for one more time and we never went to see it. Now our local cinema plays other movies and we'll have to wait our next visit to the capital for one more chance to actually watch it!
BUT...
... I am not writing a post just to tell you about a film I didn't see. The main reason of this post is a new idea that was born in front of the cinema's door. The cashier after telling us about the extension of the screenings, he also offered us a set of promotional card postals, the ones you can see in the pictures above.
The idea of making some card postals with my pictures, was already in the mind of and that way of presentation reignited and improved the original concept into something new!
Now we are preparing a set of our own and probably in a few days we are going to print the first test. The theme will be, what else, the beautiful small town that we live in, Nafplio. For that I have chosen a bunch of pictures from the last year and edited them in the same style.
They are all pictures that I have shared before in hive but I would like to hear your opinion as you look at them as one photo essay and imagine if you would like to receive some of them as an actual card postal from a friend that is travelling in Greece.
We are going to use just 8 or 9 of them so your opinion would be really helpful and much appreciated :)
