🌿 Congratulations again to the #ECLabel winner at this year’s Giornate degli Autori, Arkoudotrypa / Bearcave! The film will benefit from increased visibility across the Europa Cinemas' network, including promotional backing and a financial incentive encouraging network cinemas to screen it. Directors Stergios Dinopoulos and Krysianna B. Papadakis stated the following: “Bearcave is a genre-blending love odyssey pulsating with the mountain folklore of the Balkans. It shines an original light on the lives of two young queer women in Greece, exploring their relationship through the lens of youth, light and humor, in contrast to the darkness and suffering in the lives of rural queer people that we have come to expect. This film represents a new perspective on the process and politics of filmmaking: conceived using a grassroots and collectivist approach, in harmony with the Divine Feminine and Nature. This is a homemade film, shot in the houses of our grandmothers, with a young, women-led team, by a cohort of talented emerging Greek filmmakers.” Thank you once again to our incredible Jury: • Manuel Asín, Cine Estudio del Círculo de Bellas Artes, Spain • Simon Blaas, Cinema Middelburg, The Netherlands • Ivan Frenguelli, PostModernissimo Perugia, Italy • Signe-Annie Lindstedt, Zita Folkets Bio, Sweden We wish Bearcave a beautiful journey through Europe!

🏆 Our #ECLabel at this year’s Giornate degli Autori goes to 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗔𝗩𝗘 (Arkoudotrypa) by 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗼𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘀 & 𝗞𝗿𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗕. 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀!👏 The jury stated: “Arkoudotrypa/Bearcave is a really fresh and energetic feature debut from Stergios Dinopolous and Krysianna B. Papadakis, with a young and very talented crew behind them. The film follows the relationship between two young queer women high up in the Balkan mountains. Both a clash and a fusion of the old and new, the film is constructed a little like a thriller, but there is also more than a touch of the supernatural. The music, editing and photography are really original, and the performances by the two girls are exceptional. We really hope that the award of the Label will encourage distributors and audiences around Europe.” Congratulations to Stergios Dinopoulos, Krysianna B. Papadakis and the entire team behind the film! And a huge thank you to Giornate degli Autori and to our four dedicated Jury members for their thoughtful and passionate work: • Manuel Asín, Círculo de Bellas Artes, Spain • Simon Blaas, Cinema Middelburg, The Netherlands • Ivan Frenguelli, PostModernissimo Perugia, Italy • Signe-Annie Lindstedt, Zita Folkets Bio, Sweden Arkoudotrypa/Bearcave is a Pame Ligo Collective production co-produced with Pucci Productions. 📸 Photo credits © Nettle Pie Ltd #Giornate2025 #VeniceFilmFestival #Europacinemas #EuropeanCinema #EuropeanFilms #ECLabel
