Description

Evangelia Kranioti pushes both creative and real life boundaries in this extraordinarily daring and innovative documentary portrait essay about sailors who traverse the seas on giant container ships and the prostitutes that they come to know in their various ports of call. She decided, rather than simply interview her subjects, she would become a sailor herself. In the course of making the film, she traveled, as the only woman on board, to 20 countries over a nine-year period.


Press

"Evocative of Edward Burtynsky’s grand scale landscape photography, 'Erotica, Exotica, Etc'. is an expressionistic meditation on the sea, the men who work it, and the women who love those men." - POV Magazine
