Director Margarita Manda was awarded with the Silver Pyramid for her film "Forever" at the 36th Cairo International Film Festival. The film focuses on Costas and Anna, two solitary people journeying in a city that’s slowly dying from the lack of love: Athens.
Born in Athens in 1963, Manda has studied Political Science, French Literature and Film Direction. She has worked as assistant director to many major Greek filmmakers.
She was Theo Angelopoulos’ assistant on the films "Ulysses' Gaze," "Eternity and a Day," "The Weeping Meadow" and "The Dust of Time."
She wrote and directed short films, videos for stage productions, commercial and corporate videos as well as short and feature-length documentaries. "Gold Dust" is her first feature film.
