    • Synopsis
    • In his mind, each shot in a film carries music, poetry and rhythm, and he considered it his duty to capture the essence of the person behind the role, following their movement, emotion and breath.
      From an underprivileged childhood to the film sets of top directors, Yiannis Papadakis admits that his life was “more film than life”. With admirable ingenuity and dedication to his craft, he raised the profession of the grip into its own artform. Karagiozis, the patent grip equipment he created, was sought after from film crews across the world. Still, he spent most of his career getting sabotaged by the system he helped elevate - he has even been accused as an accessory of the 17th November terrorist group!
      In a time when AI solidifies its presence in filmmaking, Papadakis’ body of work reveals a true visionary, as much as his death marks the end of handcrafted film artistry.

      The documentary combines real life interviews, in the form of a dying man’s confessions, with testimony, archive materials, and film excerpts manifesting the genius and craftsmanship.
