1965 Greece 20 minutes No dialogue

One of the first Greek commercial documentaries commissioned by the industry itself. Shot by Roussos Koundouros, who started his career making scientific films and directed a great travelogue on Alexander the Great’s itinerary, the film stands out for its avant-garde editing and original use of music and sound editing. The stages of the construction of aluminium factory are juxtaposed with the stages of production, once the factory is in operation.
