"It was at Zagoriwood where I watched my film "The Enemy Within" in front of an audience for the first time. It was truly an amazing night."

Yorgos Tsemperopoulos

Director

I was witnessing, amazed, the excitement with which some students made their first steps into filmmaking. I felt nostalgic for my own first steps, I was envious of their passion and innocence.
