The 63rd Thessaloniki International Film Festival is welcoming one of the most fascinating, radical and idiosyncratic filmmakers of the last fifteen years, hosting a full-scale homage to his work. British (with Greek roots) director Peter Strickland, who will be honouring this year’s Festival with his presence, has built a passionate fan base, eager to follow him in all his bizarre, unconventional and adventurous endeavours. From queer chamber dramas and stylized horror grandeur, all the way to dark realism and his sui generis humour flirting with avant-garde, Peter Strickland outlines an uncanny, experimental and highly demanding personal path.
