The two editorial teams of Zizanio News, from Pyrgos and Amaliada, are like small “beehives” of ideas: they catch the pulse of events, create reports, write stories, experiment with microphones and cameras, and add their own personal touch to everything happening at the Olympia Film Festival and Camera Zizanio.
A whole journalistic group which consists of:
the Zizanio News newspaper (as a printed insert in the local newspaper "Proini")
💻 Blog: zizanionews.wordpress.com with articles, news reports, film reviews, interviews, poems, etc.
radio-shows and podcasts
videos with interviews, news reports, etc. on our YouTube channel
managing our social media
A cheerful “gang” running everywhere: in the screening rooms, at events, behind microphones and cameras, making sure no one misses a single moment of the great cinema celebration.
Just so you know: our schedule is as dynamic as we are – we’ll be moving between the festival venues, sharing our “missions” at different times of the day, depending on how we divide the journalistic responsibilities among ourselves.
If you feel like writing, speaking, experimenting, and laughing, then this is the place for you.
