Cheap Tickets

  • Willow Elias Stagg
A documentary I produced about a random Greek neighbourhood of passengers on the train that travels from Thessaloniki to Athens. On this train laws are disregarded, people become social and communicate. What do these people talk about in March 2012?
Cheap Tickets is an intimate, short documentary that reflects Greece's current crisis by observing the diverse passengers on board the 6 hour night train.The documentary artistically captures the vast range of characters on board the train, whilst emotionally delving in to the underworld of their own lives and concerns. The tension of Greece’s current economic crisis, is reflected in conversation between a diverse number of passengers, who have to live with each other, blend with each other, contradict each other but, eventually socialize and arrive at their destination.
