'Maria Callas was here' - Ταινία μικρού μήκους του Μίνωα (2015)

A short documentary by Minoas about Maria Callas life in Athens neighborhoods. (Greek with English subtitles)

"There are times where just simple hits lead you to do something that you’ve never imagined before. So as I had never thought I would do or say something about the greatest opera singer of all time. That said, perhaps the wandering of Maria Callas in Athens was only a reason for me to share with you images of a changing Athens. A walk along the streets I lived as a child. Later on I would learn that she also lived here once as one of us, as among us…" - Minoas

Ένα documentary μικρού μήκους από τον Μίνωα για τη ζωή της Κάλλας στις γειτονιές της Αθήνας. (Ελληνικά - Greek)

"Είναι κάποιες φορές που συμπτώσεις και μόνο σε οδηγούν να κάνεις κάτι που ποτέ δεν είχες φανταστεί. Έτσι κι εγώ, δεν πίστευα πως θα ‘ρχοταν η στιγμή κάτι να κάνω ή να πω για την μεγαλύτερη λυρική τραγουδίστρια όλων των εποχών. Ίσως πάλι η περιπλάνηση της Κάλλας στην Αθήνα να ήταν μόνο η αφορμή να μοιραστώ μαζί σας εικόνες από μια Αθήνα που αλλάζει. Μια βόλτα στους δρόμους που έζησα και περπάτησα από μικρό παιδί, και που πολύ αργότερα θα μάθαινα πως και εκείνη έζησε κάποτε εδώ, σαν δική μας, σαν ανάμεσα μας..." - Minoas

Thank you for your excellent, short documentary which evokes Callas.

Wonderful your video, Minoa! Callas was an insurmountable artistic personality...A goddess, and we are proud to have greek blood in her veins !!! In her passage-and especially in her voice- she made a strong emotion! Diva among the divas! Someone described her as a "huge lonely eagle", with its open wings, overshadowing forever all the other spirits!
Her case, overturns the concept of mortality, the constant that man is determined by his nature to die ...
Thank you so much! Charged the day, today ... RIP!
