Lesvia

Since the 1970s, lesbians from around the world have been drawn to the island of Lesvos, the birthplace of the ancient Greek poet Sappho. When they find paradise in a local village and carve out their own queer lesbian community, tensions simmer with the local residents. With both groups claiming ownership of lesbian identity, filmmaker Tzeli Hadjidimitriou—a native and lesbian herself—is caught in the middle and chronicles 40+ years of love, community, conflict, and what it means to feel accepted.

The Network

In 2005, California’s Getty Museum hit the news: their former curator for antiquities, Marion True, has been accused of being involved in an extensive trade in archaeological treasures and went on trial in Rome charged with criminal conspiracy. The True case is not an exception, but rather an example for a major ethical crisis that has hit many big museums around the world, which mirrors the deeper crisis of the antiquity trade today.
