Her Job, Greek director Nikos Labôt‘s first feature roots its setting in the sociopolitical landscape of present-day Greece in the state of crisis, but also focuses on a story of a female character, who finds herself at the intersection of several social layers including patriarchal family relations, class issues, and gender-role conventions.
Her Job sets up its narrative by scrutinizing the life of middle-aged, functionally illiterate housewife Panagiota. This life mostly consists of providing housework services to her husband and two kids, and going largely unnoticed otherwise.…...

Pact will focus on mutual support in distribution.
Head of Film Centre Serbia, Boban Jevtić, and director of the Greek Film Centre, Electra Venaki, signed an agreement on business co-operation between the two funds yesterday (Aug 16) at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
The agreement focuses on mutual support in distribution. When a Serbian distributor buys a Greek film for theatrical release, the Film Centre Serbia will cover the expenses of translation and subtitling and potentially provide financial help to the distributor. The scheme will work the same way in Greece with Serbian films.
Despite the strong historical ties between the two countries, there has not previously been much collaboration between their film industries.
“Serbia had more co-productions with South Korea than with Greece, which is really strange,” Jevtić told Screendaily.
This summer saw the first Greek-Serbian co-production since the mid-90s wrap principal photography: Her Job (pictured) by Greek director Nikos Labot, a project...
