High Wire
A documentary about the bouzouki virtuoso, and first bouzouki player to perform at the Odeon of Herodus Atticus at age 18, Yiannis Moraitis. His restless spirit brought him alongside great composers, singers, and others. "The history of Rebetiko and Laiko music lives among us", affirms Alexandra Gravas, the mezzo soprano, referring to Yiannis Moraitis. The authenticity that defines Yiannis Moraitis became an (invaluable) 'tool' for Katerina Pantazopoulou, who directed the documentary and recorded the life of this 'last guardian of the bouzouki, the last Rebeti bouzouki player'. —Thessaloniki Documentary Festival
