A film about one of the most powerful earthquakes of the 20th century, based on archive and amateur footage of the 1950\'s.

In 1953, one of the world’s most powerful earthquakes destroyed the islands of the Ionian Sea, Greece. Two amateur cameramen happened to be there, recording what they saw on film. EARTHQUAKE is a documentary based on this footage- shot before and after the disaster. We watch the island’s inhabitants as they emerge from the rubble. We witness workers constructing a new architectural landscape, concrete, grey blocks in the place of century old Venetian red and ochre plastered buildings, and we follow some islanders on their long journey to New York and Melbourne. Based on an autobiographical text by the novelist Stratis Haviaras, EARTHQUAKE is about how we deal with destruction and the lost of our past, about how memory can guide us forward to the future and help us imagine better times when all around us is lost.
