The short Documentary film of Giorgos Dimitropoulos proudly collected a total of 6 awards for Best Film on Nature, Best Environmental Film, Best Cinematography and Best Documentary in festivals in the US, UK, Slovakia, India and Italy. It was shot entirely on location at Lake Plastiras in central Greece.

"Ersis" is a short cinematic documentary film dedicated to the splendour and beauty of nature as told by ancient myths and legends, reminding us that we can live in harmony with nature just like our ancestors did for thousands of years. The storyline is based on an allegory fiction poem of George Gerontopoulos.

Humans have believed in celestial deities since the beginning. They were part of our lives, they still are. And they live amongst us, embracing the divine. And they live between the world of humans and the ethereal world of gods. One of them is “Ersi”, the deity of the morning frozen dew. She has been living in mountainous Greece for thousands of years, and her presence there reminds us of the beauty of nature and the prominence of life.

''Every morning “Ersi” dresses the lake in a misty veil. Every morning the deity of the frozen dew reminds us of the great technological advances that improved and changed life as we know it. We created dams, lakes, and rivers. We contained and transformed nature but at a great cost to the environment, we live on. Human civilization has been evolving for millennia but the importance of balance, humility, and composure is greater than ever before.

Will we ever listen to the ancient legends, the myths, and the deities that deliver a sense of symbiosis, and ethos? Will we learn from our ancestors and co-exist in harmony with nature? Will we reach an epiphany? ''

Enjoy!
