Pivot (in development)

The project participates in the Thessaloniki Pitching Forum of the 28th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival.

The film follows Christina Harris Stelliou, a former Greek MMA athlete, as she prepares to re-enter the ring after a nearly five-year absence. Leaving Greece for an intensive three-month training camp in Thailand, she hopes to regain her physical strength and a lost part of herself. As she trains, memories of an abusive relationship with her former coach emerge – a relationship that deeply marked her identity and her life.

Through movement, silences and moments of intimacy, the director follows Christina through the slow, fragile work of healing. The film does not seek a triumphant return, but reveals the bare, honest process of reconstruction.
