Birthday Celebration, or a Silent Balkan Story

Γλέντι γενεθλίων ή Μια βουβή βαλκανική ιστορία

Also known as Glenti genethlion i Mia vouvi valkaniki istoria, Banquet d’anniversaire (Histoire muette des Balkans)

The film is dedicated to the centennial of cinema and, through a pastiche of excerpts from Balkan silent films, pays tribute to a cinema that has been almost completely forgotten. Old photographs and a modern- day train trip through the Balkans highlight the coincidences, the similarities, and the affinities that link Balkan filmmakers. A film about all the things that unite the neighbouring countries of the peninsula, which, perhaps, are many more than the things that divide them.
