The Last Nomad
Short Documentary | 24' | 2024
Greek Sarakatsani community members, a former group of nomadic animal breeders, share personal experiences and discuss the concept of identity in today's world. A tribute to collective memory through an experiential journey that sets out from the past, progresses into the present, and contemplates the future.
Grounded in ethnographic observation and personal testimony, this research explores the endurance of intangible cultural memory in post-nomadic life. It delves into questions of belonging, continuity, and transformation within a community redefining its identity between past and present, offering a reflection on how heritage adapts and survives when its original context fades.
