A Multi-Award-Winning Cinematic Journey at Studio New Star Art Cinema
The acclaimed feature film Take a Trip, directed by the internationally recognized Greek filmmaker Christos Karakasis, continues its remarkable theatrical run, reaching an impressive milestone: 80 consecutive weeks of screenings at Studio New Star Art Cinema in Athens — a rare feat for contemporary Greek cinema.
Having received numerous awards and honors at international film festivals, Take a Trip has been embraced by audiences across Europe, the United States, and Asia. More than a film, it is an immersive experience, inviting viewers to embark on a poetic and emotional journey that transcends the boundaries of conventional narrative.
Beyond Realism: A Cinematic Exploration
Take a Trip is not a film that fits neatly into a single genre. It is an artistic and philosophical voyage that merges realism with symbolism, image with sound, the personal with the universal. Karakasis crafts a compelling visual language that examines themes such as memory, identity, loss, and the human longing for transcendence and escape.
With a bold directorial approach, Karakasis turns landscape, the body, and sound into visual metaphors, delivering a film that resonates deeply on both an emotional and intellectual level.
