PRAHA DRESDEN BERLIN 5p337

#
Director: MILTOS POULOS.
“The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways.

Pictures that claim memories of the past. Pictures haunting the present, piercing and conjuring it. Pictures that could make the opening to the main Game of a millennium which has already started to dawn, the third one, one which looks like it has more things on its head.
