SUMMER SHORT 1: When Art Provokes.

Fractured

As many members of our team come from Iran, for our first Summer Short episode we had to choose a topic related to the situation of Iranian artists who were forced to flee their country and those who despite all obstacles decided to stay. Our special guest is an actor, director and artist Vassilis Koukalani .
