A project created by  Spyros Siakas

The Kalikatzarous Animation Trilogy consists of three (3) full-length animated films that highlight the point of view of the creative students of a modern Greek village, dominated by garbage, lack of productivity and 
​exaggeration in computing communication, using as a vehicle the traditional myth of Greek Kalikatzarous and the memories of an old woman, the Grandmother, of the village.
The balance of the students action between the new and the old world leads, ultimately, to a new folk tradition.
​
The project is accompanied by a series of interactive activities and cultural products in order to maintain a close relationship with their audience..
These activities include:

1. Animation Workshops where the audience create  Klaikatzarous (the Greek goblin) which is main narrative element of the stories
2. Narrative Exhibitions with mix reality applications, as alternative screening of the films. 
3. Animation Augmented Reality Books

The power of folk tradition to reinterpret the modern world
