Naked Hands

a documentary film about the great Greek maestro Dimitri Mitropoulos

Dimitri Mitropoulos conducted his orchestras without a baton, with his bare hands. 
 
Giorgos Skevas’ documentary—whose premiere screening this is—covers the years Mitropoulos spent in the United States at the helm of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. A man (Lefteris Voyiatzis) studies the archive containing Mitropoulos’ letters and audio-visual material featuring the maestro in an effort to shed light on aspects of the life and personality of the great Greek conductor.
