The internationally famed "peculiarity" of Greek cinema will come to TIFF thanks to films such as The Capsule (by Athina Rachel Tsangari), an avant-garde and genre-defying film, Higuita (by Alexander Voulgaris), a hypnotic dystopia about a group of people self-stranded on an island or Boy Eating Bird's Food (by Ektoras Lygizos), a highly stylized, alienating and absurd film about a young man barely making ends meet. Focus Greece also encompasses Unfair World (by Filippos Tsitos), Greece's Oscar 2012 official submission. The selection for this sub-section was made by Dimitris Kerkinos, programmer of the Balkan Survey section of Thessaloniki Film Festival, with the support of the Greek Film Center.
