The Green Fairy The Green Fairy

Director: Alex Kalymnios

Year: 2008

Jules is on top of the world. Finally, she’s going to have the fairy tale marriage she had always wanted with the man of her dreams. A booze-fuelled hen night takes a dark twist when Jules and her three best friends start playing a dangerous game of truths.

Jealous People Are Ugly People Jealous People Are Ugly People

Director: Theo James Krekis

Year: 2025

Vasilly has become painfully jealous of his best friend, Luke. They both interviewed for the same career-making graphic design role, but Luke got the offer whilst Vasilly returned to his dead-end labouring job, drained of hope and creativity. However, things aren’t going so well for Luke. Every time he shares good news about his new role he suffers strange and violent repercussions. Disturbed by the uncanny timing, Vasilly recalls his Yiayia’s warnings about the Greek superstition of the evil eye - a 5,000-year-old belief that jealousy can manifest harm through a malevolent glare - and starts to believe his own envy might be to blame for Luke’s bad luck. As events escalate, Vasilly spirals into paranoia and guilt, confronting the possibility that the true danger lies not in superstition, but in himself. A darkly comic psychological thriller about male jealousy, inherited superstition, and the corrosive power of repressed ambition. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2025
