Notes: The “Lion of Penteli” is a film based on legends and tales about life and action of notorious bandit named Davelis. I chose to take over all the basic fields of my production, in order to keep control of the realisation of my vision. Sources of my inspiration became some urban myths about 19th century’s bandits, greek nature, folk songs, shadow theatre, old movies about similar subjects, and comics as well (classics illustrated in specific). The plot ofthe movie leads to a dramatic end, followed by plenty of funny scenes that helped me construct the personality ofthe ultimate anti-hero Davelis.
