Our reality, our daily routine, revolved around cinema mostly, and created a cinéphile atmosphere as we always watched films and commented on them, or listened to film scores, or read biographies, or were working on a new script or edit…
Our house was easily turned into a studio location where filming would take place. It was transcending like a fairytale.
People came and went all day long, all hours.. A strong memory I have as a 10 yr old is in 1981, when a big earthquake shook the city of Athens.
It happened in the middle of the night so when I woke up in the morning I saw people sleeping in all corners of the house – sofas, coaches, on carpets…
They had all come to our house as a refuge since it was a villa and well grounded on the earth. No shaking there.
I thought that was really cool. And that was the spirit of Nikos.
Partners on and off screen – living together, experiencing, sharing, creating together…
That is the spirit we carry on MARNI FILMS. With new talented souls who love cinema. In memory of Nikos.
