The Climate Diary is a documentary filmed in the spring of 2020. The camera is fixed, the shot is the same every day. The changes in temperature and time are magnified through the image alongside the small changes in daily life during the quarantine in Athens. The majority of the information, however, is collected through sound in a counterpoint to the image that appears frozen. In the end, the narration that accompanies the image throughout the film becomes blended with the music, tending towards abstraction, like a politically charged study on Monet.

Alekos Alexiadis was born and raised in Athens. He studied cinematography at the Stavrakou School and art history with Maria Andronikou. He started making film essays in 2017. The topics that concern his films tackle critical theory, art history and the coupling of cinema with epistemology.

Available for online screening from 14 December
