Parthena Manoussakis

I move through cities as both witness and participant, using film photography to study the quiet language of faces. Portraiture, to me, is less about documentation and more about preservation of mood, time, and the subtle negotiations people make with the world around them. Working across different countries and cultures has reinforced a shared interiority that transcends geography. My practice is an ongoing attempt to honour that universality, while respecting the specificity of each individual I photograph.

Help Me Not Die
Experimental/ThrillerScreening

Como Cinema / Double Premiere 
Festival circuit submission, 2025

An experimental meditation on intimacy and psychological endurance, Help Me Not Die follows the volatile orbit between a couple and an intruding third presence. Darkly absurd yet emotionally exacting, the film resists narrative comfort, instead inviting the viewer into a space of tension, exposure, and raw interiority. Witnessing the work in a full cinema underscored the performers’ striking vulnerability and charged chemistry a reminder that cinema, at its most potent, is not watched but felt.
