ABSTRACT
The power dynamics in families often vary per culture. In Greece, these dynamics are often paternal in nature. Therefore, the films that are displayed often reflect these dynamics. With the new wave Greek cinema, these stereotypes are shifting. This new pattern of Greek films are creating a trend of shifting culture. By understanding text such as Masculinity and Gender in Greek Cinema by Achilleas Hadjikyriacou, we get a deeper understanding of what it means to address the patriarchal issues in Greek society.Through the analyzation of several films, including Flickering Souls Set Alight (2019, Iakovos Panagopoulos), Her Job (2018, Nikos Labot, 1h 30min), In This Land Nobody Knew How To Cry(2018, George Panousopoulos, 90min), and Pause (2018, Tonia Mishiali, 1h 36min), this blog will address masculinity within familial power dynamics and the timing for which these films are being released.
