Moon, 66 Questions – Watch the trailer for Jacqueline Lentzou’s new drama

MOON, 66 QUESTIONS written and directed by Greek filmmaker Jacqueline Lentzou was a critical success in last year’s Berlinale, won the Golden Puffin at Reykjavík International Film Festival, won Best Actress at Nouveau Cinema and the Cineuropa Award for Best Film at Sarajevo. It will be released nationwide in UK cinemas on 24 June.

MOON, 66 QUESTIONS focuses on Artemis who, after years of distance, has to return to Athens due to her father’s frail state of health. Discovering her father’s well-kept secret allows Artemis to understand her father in a way she was not able to before, and to love him truly for the first time.

An intimate and touching portrayal of a teenager as she is forced to re-evaluate her relationship with her father, MOON, 66 QUESTIONS is the impressive debut feature of  writer/director Jacqueline Lentzou, starring Sofia Kokkali (Thread) and Lazaros Georgakopoulos (The Other Me). The excellent soundtrack features tracks from bands including The Callas and Daniel Johnston.

A London Film School graduate originally born in Athens, Jacqueline Lentzou’s previous five short films have premiered at festivals including Locarno, Toronto, Berlin and Cannes and she is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards including the Cine Leica Discovery Award by Semaine de La Critique for her short film Hector Malot: The Last Day of the Year. A great voice in contemporary Greek New Wave cinema.
