Nion’s Shadow Puppeteer

George was born in Athens. When he was 4 years old, he saw a Karagiozi show for the first time in his life. It was unforgettable for him. When he was 5 years old, his parents, who are bank employees, due to work, moved from Greece to Switzerland. When he was 10 years old, his father made him his first berde, and so he started playing Karagiozis's play for his friends in Switzerland. He is now 13 years old and lives in Nyon. Plays in English and French, in schools and theaters in Nyon. But George's big dream is to play in Crete, in Greek. The life and dreams of the little shadow puppeteer in Switzerland, between two cultures, between two homelands. * Fischer Audience Award at the 10th Chania Film Festival 2022 ** 3rd Prize for Best Documentary at the 16th Chalkida Greek Documentary Festival - Docfest 2022 *** Best Feature Documentary Award - From the Jury for children up to 12 years of age of the 25th Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People (2022) ============== .
