This year’s Psarokokalo ISFF poster and visuals, designed by Polyomino
combine cycladic minimalism, aegean colors and playful flexibility.
Using a practically infinite variety of combinations between four simple shapes, the visuals showcase the festival’s creative, innovative and playful spirit. The triangle stands for the ‘Play’ button, as well as Panagia, the island’s imposing triangular hill that looms over Chora. The two rectangular shapes symbolize the most common film aspect ratios (4:3/35mm and 16:9/Widescreen), as well as the characteristic shapes of cycladic homes and windows. And, lastly, the semicircle is a tribute to the iconic chapel domes and arches that can be found throughout the Cyclades. When the symbols/shapes are combined in certain ways, the result is an abstract image of a fish or fishbone (Psarokokalo = ΨαροκÏŒκαλο = Fishbone in greek). Adjusting the placement of the elements for every visual application results in an endless variety of compositions, echoing the multitude of film creators, styles and artistic approaches showcased during the festival.
