OTE TV co-produced 3D film 'Magic Mirror' to start post production

June 19th, 2015

With shootings at historical sites and locations of Athens, such as the Zappeion Hall and the former Stock Exchange, 'Magic Mirror', the first Greek 3D feature film, a Black Orange SA production, co-produced by OTE TV, launches post-production. The movie will be released to theatres by Feelgood Entertainment in February 2016, and will then premier on OTE TV's OTE CINEMA channels.

A delightful comedy with subversive mix-ups, 'Magic Mirror' brings back to the big screen the team of the comedy smash 'Nisos', six years after their previous reunion: the movie is directed by Christos Dimas, written by Elena Solomouand KostisPapadopoulos, and produced by Giannis Iakovidis.

This is the first Greek movie that has been shot entirely and will be released in 3D.'The idea to shoot in 3D came up during the shootings of 'Nisos' in Sifnos, six years ago, where together with my colleagues we started discussing our next move. We wanted to make a movie that would bring something new and fresh to the audience', says Magic Mirror director Christos Dimas. About the endeavor, director of photography GiorgosArgyroiliopoulossays that '3D brings the audience even closer to the actors and engages them much deeper in the story than is the case with a regular film'. 'The secret is to find a way to arouse your spectators' interest. While being honest with them', concludes producer Giannis Iakovidis.

Starring in the movie are MakisPapadimitriou, Zeta Douka, AthinaOikonomakou, Eleni Kokkidou, Takis Papamathaiou, Dimitris Imellos, Lefteris Eleftheriou, and Kostas Koklas. The heroes of the movie travel in time and space and get entangled in unexpected adventures, each revealing a different side of their personality.

Movie synopsis

Curator of antiquities in the morning and employee at a garage in the afternoon. This is the tedious daily routine of 35 year old Kleanthis(MakisPapadimitriou). From the day he discovers a 'magic mirror' (Kostas Koklas) which makes even the craziest dreams come true, Kleanthisseizes the chance to ask for those things that will change his life forever. He even can re-formulate his wish as many times as he pleases. His wishes will be fulfilled but this is not enough. There is always something missing and Kleanthiscan't seem to find true happiness anywhere. Or at least that's what he thinks.

'Magic Mirror' is produced by Black Orange, which in the past produced major comedy hits ('Nisos', 'Straight Story', 'Bank Bang', 'Five more minutes') and feature films, such as 'Little England' by Pantelis Voulgaris, and 'The WheepingMeadow' by Theodoros Aggelopoulos.
