Return to Depot

About This Movie

Return to Depot dives deep into the heart of Thessaloniki's once-bustling Depot district, now cloaked in shadows and silence. The film's strength lies in its unhurried pacing, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere of this forgotten space. You’ve got this abandoned tram depot taking center stage, a character in its own right, as it comes alive for a theatrical performance organized by Parallaxi. The documentary captures not just the revival of a location, but also delves into the stories of the people who inhabit its history. The practical effects are subtle, enhancing the rawness of the setting without overshadowing the real performances. It’s this blend of past and present that gives the film its unique flavor.
