Tzeli Hadjidimitriou is an award-winning independent filmmaker, fine art photographer, and writer. She was born and raised on the island of Lesvos, Greece.  
Below are some of her films for those with an interest in Lesvos, and/or questions of gender and sexuality.

SAPPHO’S GRANDDAUGHTERS
Making their own mark … Sappho’s Granddaughters  presents four women of Lesvos: Aged but strong in spirit, grounded in the soil and history of the island, recalling life with humour and wisdom.

ΟΙ ΕΓΓΟΝΕΣ ΤΗΣ ΣΑΠΦΟΥΣ
Οι «Γιαγιάδες, οι εγγονές της Σαπφούς» δίνουν λόγο σε τέσσερις γυναίκες από τη Λέσβο, που τα χρόνια δεν δάμασαν τη ψυχή τους. Αναπολούν μαζί μας κάποιες στιγμές της ζωής τους, με χιούμορ και σοφία. Η καθεμιά με τον τρόπο της. 


SAPPHO SINGING
Sappho Singing.  A contemporary riff on Sappho’s poetry, a woman's love and legacy across millennia in a Lesbian landscape. The lyric poet Sappho is presented as a modern woman whose opinions about equality and art still matter 2,600 years after her death. This time round she turns up in her birthplace, the remote village of Eressos on the Greek island of Lesvos and moves among some of its modern-day inhabitants.

Σίγουρη για την αξία της σαν ποιήτρια, αναλογίζεται τους σκοτεινούς αιώνες που ακολούθησαν για όσες  γυναίκες θεώρησαν τον εαυτό τους τουλάχιστον ισάξιο των αντρών. 


Mr. DIMITRIS AND Mrs.DIMITROULA

“A rose is a rose no matter how you call it”

Dimitris lives her life in Skala Skamnias, the conservative Greek fishing village where she was born. She nursed her dying parents and now lives alone, enjoying her femininity by dancing in the street to old pop records, watched by her cat.

Ο ΔΗΜΗΤΡΑΚΗΣ ΚΑΙ Η ΔΗΜΗΤΡΟΥΛΑ
«Το ρόδο είναι ρόδο, όπως και να το ονομάσεις»

Ένας άνθρωπος, μέσης ηλικίας,  χορεύει στη μέση του δρόμου στους ήχους του ραδιοφώνου με τραγούδια της δεκαετίας του 70. Μόνη του/της παρέα μια γάτα, η Δημητρούλα. Οι ζωές τους μπερδεύονται με τρόπο βαθύ αλλά ασυναίσθητο.

LESVIA: HERSTORY OF ERESSOS

The village of Eressos, on the island of Lesbos, is the birthplace of Sappho – the first recorded female poet to write about love between women. At the end of the military dictatorship in Greece, lesbian women from all over the world start making their pilgrimage to the island, in search of the spirit of Sappho. This film records 40 years of stories, memories, love affairs, social conflicts in the village of Eressos. It looks at the history of this uneasy relationship and the inevitable clash of cultures between the islanders and their wayward visitors over the past several decades.
