THE MIRACLE OF THE SARGASSO SEA
(TO THÁVMA TIS THÁLASSAS TON SARGASSÓN)
Syllas Tzoumerkas
18:00 | GATE NARRATIVE
Ambitious police captain Elisabeth (Angeliki Papoulia) is drowning in drink and the mundane small-town community where she was forcibly transferred. Rita (Youla Boudali) guts eels for a living whilst attempting to fade into the background, unlike her flamboyant, nightclub-owning brother. But a mysterious death soon upends both their lives and the community, forcing the two women together. Featuring an incendiary performance from Papoulia, in a script co-written by Boudali, this taut thriller intricately weaves both the mystery and the mysterious.

BRAINIAC: TRANSMISSIONS AFTER ZERO
Eric Mahoney
18:00 | TRISKEL DOCUMENTARY
Exploding from Dayton, Ohio in the mid-90s, Brainiac quickly gained
a formidable reputation in the US indie rock scene, yet sounded years ahead of their contemporaries. Touring with the likes of Beck, and being courted by several major labels, their ascent was suddenly halted when their supremely talented, charismatic frontman Tim Taylor was tragically killed in a car accident. Drawing on interviews with the band members, plus Steve Albini, members of Mogwai, At The Drive-In, The Jesus Lizard and more, director Eric Mahoney brings to the fore the story of a band that, through tragedy, were denied the spotlight they so truly deserved.
