Oxi (Gr. Determiner, lit. 'No', fig. 'Resistance', pronounced
'ochi') retells Sophocles' Antigone through the contemporary Greek
crisis and modern European philosophy. A collaboration between the
renowned British auteur Ken McMullen and the literary theorist
Martin McQuillan, the film draws upon and responds to the
importance of the Antigone of modern thought (Hegel, Arendt, Lacan,
Derrida, Butler), while coming up close to the politics of the
street and the malign effects of the austerity experiment in Greece
today. The screenplay weaves together a range of idioms, including
performance, fiction, documentary, interview and literary collage.
The result is an intensely moving reflection on the tragedy of
austerity today, with contributions from Helene Cixous, Etienne
Balibar and Antonio Negri, as well as several significant figures
in Greek cultural life. The volume includes full transcripts of the
interviews with Cixous, Balibar and Negri, and a previously
unpublished interview with Jacques Derrida on the question of
Oedipus, as well as critical commentary from the filmmakers.
