Our launch event took place during Refugee Week Greece 2024, the festival from which we were inspired to form Pixida Films. This was a free event, accessible to all.

'Crossings' presented the stories of migrants on their own terms, in ways that will feel both familiar and far away. Each story is unique, just one of a constellation of narratives produced by forced migration into Greece, from the Greeks of Smyrne to the current flows. Too often, these stories are recounted in parallel rather than placed in conversation with one another. Yearning to belong; dreaming for another future; remembering foresaken roots: these are some of the feelings articulated by those exiled to Greece. On the very border of Europe, Greece becomes the connecting land between East and West, giving rise to Pandora's box of emotions elicited by migration, movement and stuckedness. It is precisely because of this position that Greece is as it is: the rite of passage in pursuit of home.
