Documentary description from the 13th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival site:
Α γρούσσα νάμου / Massimo Pizzocaro, Elisavet Laloudaki
![](http://tdf.filmfestival.gr/inst/Festival/gallery/DocFestival/13/Films/Our_Language.jpg)
In the Eastern Peloponnese, in a remote region under the shadow of Mt Parnon, live the Tsakonians, a special tribe of "stubborn" Greeks. For the past three thousand years they have been speaking an ancient dialect, now the unique instance of a Doric language. They did not abandon it even after Koine had prevailed—the first superregional dialect that Modern Greek originates from. But what has withstood centuries has withered in the last four or five decades. The roads have opened up, tourism has arrived, the locals have left as immigrants or mariners, compulsory schooling has forced its students to forget their ancient language. And then the hour of truth arrives: when you lose your language, you lose an entire world. The case of the Tsakonians is not unique. According to UN statistics, almost half the languages of the planet are facing the same threat of extinction and oblivion. This is a movie on loss of identity—on what it means to know that your language will not be spoken a hundred years from now...

In the 13th Documentary Festival:
The Tsakonian dialect is at the center of a documentary to be shown in Thessalonica.

THESSALONICA.—The visitors of Leonidio in Arcadia are welcomed by a sign saying Καούρ εκάματε, which in the Tsakonian dialect means "Welcome". The directors Elisavet Laloudaki and Massimo Pizzocaro have attempted to record the Tsakonian dialect in the villages of Cynuria, in their documentary titled Α Γρούσσα Νάμου "Our Language", to be shown in the 13th Documentary Festival of Thessalonica.
In the region of Cynuria, under the shadow of Mt Parnon and facing the Myrtoan Sea, the locals use in their daily communication Tsakonian, the only surviving descendant of the Doric dialect.
The Tsakonian dialect is used in the villages of Melana, Tyros, Sapounakeika, Vaskina, Prastos, Sitena, Kastanitsa, and the capital of the South Cynuria Municipality, Leonidio.
There are three different variants of the dialect: the idiom of south Cynuria (Tyros, Melana, etc.), the idiom of Kastanitsa and Sitena, and the idiom of the Propontis. The latter is no longer spoken by anybody.
Today the speakers of the dialect are estimated to be 2000 to 4000.
The directors of the documentary use their camera to follow the inhabitants of Cynuria, old and young, using the Tsakonian dialect in their daily activities.
"We went into homes and cafés and heard moving stories. We realised that the language is dying, but unfortunately it is not dying on its own. Together with the language, an entire way of life is vanishing," director Elisavet Laloudaki told the Athens News Agency.
"Our aim was to try to convey the relaxed atmosphere prevalent in the region; to make a movie on a language that is disappearing, but which would be light and alive, like a cool breeze."
Through their individual stories, the locals recount their relationship with Tsakonian, their memories of the former, more widespread use of the dialect, and their efforts to transmit their knowledge to their children.
As the documentary directors observe in their description, "Tsakonians belong to the old world. Their contacts with strangers, their opening up to tourism, immigration, modern life has only minimally altered the structures and rules of their closed society. In fact, it's not that they are seeking to be isolated; they are just displaying an obstinate refusal to accept these developments."
"Their persisting with the Ancient Doric language when the whole world around them, even non-Greeks, were adopting Koine is only one aspect—perhaps the most extreme—of their reluctance to change. In this sternly delimited environment, boundaries are very important, almost sacred. In Tsakonia, a stranger does not easily go into a home—and that's final."
Though the environment is as they describe, the directors themselves managed to gain entry more readily, since Elisavet Laloudaki is originally from there.
"So at least in our case, the camera was not an intruder. Homes were open, talk was free, space was unconfined. Our demands were minimal: we asked them not to talk about the language, but to talk in the language—that is, to allow us to show their world," the two directors add.
The 13th Festival begins on March 11 and continues until the 20th. The in.gr site is a media sponsor for the event.

ReplyDeleteI was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting {Blankatmoffice@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with$50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

Greetings from Maria James from Florida, United State. It is so overwhelming to know that honest hackers do still exist these days though it's hard to get to them. Have been living under a blind romantic scam with my boyfriend not knowing he was after my Dad money, no way to get to my dad except through me, he was hired to ruin my life. He made me fall in love with him so crazy and after two months of our relationship he traveled without my knowledge and I was so worried about him because I couldn't reach him and this lead me to Wizard Brixton and it was not easy getting to know this great wizard, I email him directly via WIZARDBRIXTON (AT) GMAIL (DOT) COM and he then asked me to reach him on WhatsApp if my case was very urgent and I urgently contacted him on WhatsApp with (+1- /807-23 ) 4-0428 ;) Immediately I contacted him' I asked him to help me with the exact location of my boyfriend where-about and he then asked for his mobile number and I gave it out to him not so long he just asked me to wait for 15 minutes and exactly the time he gave to me he got back with unbelievable news.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have believed him if he didn't get back with proof because I so much trusted my boyfriend and loved him, why I log in to the mobile spy anonymous monitor I saw for myself that he was without another Lady in Maryland, USA. I then see all conversations and WhatsApp voice records with his boss. Well, All thanks to Wizard Brixton though it actually hurts to know the truth his services I highly recommend and he is very active and fast with a sense of humor. Do reach him today for similar cases and loss of funds. He also retrieves my funds back
I thank God who has given me the strength to be able to communicate with Everyone again through this site. I have no doubt that you are the rightful person that God has designed to hear my testimonial out my last experiences in wrong investment (wizardbrixton@gmail.com) I lost a huge amount of money to the wrong investment company which cause me a heart attack and I was admitted to the hospitals and were unable to feel myself, thank to Dr. Stevenson who treated me and was given me word of encouragement and later introduce me to this great hacker Wizard Brixton who listen to my problem and bring solutions to it at first I didn't believe such a miracle will ever happen but he promises me to give him time and valid information about the company to my great surprise he hacked into the company Emails and show me how I make payment to the company and from the email he was able to get there account details where I paid in money into less than 4hours he was able o give me the right details I want and he asked me if I want to recover my money back from the scammed company I told him yes then we proceed less than 24hours I recover my 358,000 USD and he asks me if I want to take the remaining money from the account but his job is to help me recover my main amount so I was relief from thinking and heart attack I felt joy inside me you guy should contact him great hacker WIZARDBRIXTON(AT) GMAIL (DOT) COM Contact him on WhatsApp with (+1- /807-23 ) 4-0428 ;)
ReplyDeleteBefore i started my journey of Investment, i promised myself i would never be scammed, and i put in many effort to make sure i made very deep research before i dived into any form of investment. so far i still havnt fell in the wrong hands and i dont think i ever will. That being said, i cant help but give credit to these guys who have always helped me invest my money in the right places. I made $13,570 with only a $500 investment just within the first 13 days. It was a very nice feeling, i started with them 7 months ago and i am still very happy about it and want to share it with anyone who really wants to make money sitting at home or just by their savings. i got really rescued by this opportunity, my life was almost down the drain when my police friend told me about them. you can reach out to them to simply consult before you start, it is completely free.
