Syllas Tzoumerkas – A Manifesto for the Un-communal (2017)
Synopsis wrote:
A MANIFESTO FOR THE UN-COMMUNAL is a poem, a documentary, a video diary and a propaganda piece in praise of the outlandishly living.
Shot in Germany, Israel, Greece and Denmark, A MANIFESTO FOR THE UN-COMMUNAL is the convergence of the voices, the stories and the living landscapes of seven+ characters that live against the warming comfort of the self-righteousness of their herd. People undefined by their class, undefined by their education, revolting against any sense of state or non-state, polyglottes and polyfucked, traitors, un-marginalized and always out of the margin. Or, as Homer would put it, “the Lawless, those without Hearth or Clan” (Iliad, 9.63).

I will speak about the ‘lawless, those without hearth or clan”. That’s what being out-of-place is: to have no law, to consider no place as home, to belong to no community. Ever sInce the times of Homer.
