This short film by Konstantina Kotzamani – the recipient of an Onassis Foundation scholarship – tells “the story of the loss of a city”, as described in her own words. Love and dreams, mystery and the surreal shape new realities in this filmmaker’s cinematic universe. Dreams and nightmares, birth and death are masterfully melded in this futuristic thriller which screened as part of the Locarno Film Festival’s short film section, in competition for a Golden Leopard Award.

International festivals at which “Yellow Fieber” has also screened include: the Locarno Film Festival 2015 [CH], AFI Fest 2015 [US], Festival du nouveau cinéma de Montréal [CA], Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival [PT], and the Busan International Short Film Festival [KR].

Synopsis

Suddenly a strange yellow dust covers Athens. At first everyone thought it was sulfur, but a few hours later Yellow Fieber erupted. No one expected what was about to happen, no one could tell that the city would turn into a forest of palms. "Yellow Fieber" is a story of the loss of a city.
