Front and back cover

This is a book of portrait photographs by Anna Maria Hadjistephanou of the actors of the film Σπασμενη Φλεβα (Spasmeni Fleva, English: “Broken Vein”) by director Yannis Economides.

Hadjistephanou took photographs of the actors before, during and after the shooting. Before the shooting the actors are posing in front of a mirror, during the shooting they are shot when they prepare to go on the set and the photo after is taken with the actors posing in their homes.

Project φλέβα. Παράλληλες φωτογραφικές διαδρομές (“Project Fleva. Parallel photographic routes”) presents all the photos and contains nine short texts by critics, photographers and some of the actors. An exhibition of the photographs will be held a week before the film premiers in cinemas.

The book is set on Richler with Gotham Narrow for titles and captions. It’s available from Βιβλιοπωλείο ΜΠΕΡΛΙΝ (Berlin Books).
