The Sun-Baked Island of Crete

The Sun-Baked Island of Crete

12 mins | Documentary | June 30, 1959

The traditional and modest life in deep rural Crete. A film on the verge of traditional documentary film and an attempt to find a new direction in terms of what documentary film could be. An envious look at contemporary works by his fellow filmmakers from the British Free Cinema, obviously spurred on director Pitt Koch’s ambition.
