The Greek filmmaker Christos Nikou is here in San Sebastián to present his second feature film Fingernails in the Official Section. It offers a critique of new technologies set against the backdrop of the search for true love, a question that Nikou is especially interested in. He confessed that he didn’t really know what love was: “I’m still trying to find out what it is. It’s the most elusive thing”, but that he had wanted to make a comedy about technology and how this has changed the way we approach love in general. He said that what he was trying to transmit to the audience was the idea that searching for love was something we needed to work at on a daily basis, and that this could be painful and make you feel uncomfortable. He also spoke about science fiction as a genre and said that a lot of SF films try to create a distant futurist world that the audience often couldn’t connect with, whereas he felt that conceptual stories resonate more when you create something that people have lived themselves. He had aimed to make a film with a timeless aesthetic that could serve as a prophecy, rather like The Truman Show which he revealed was the film that first inspired him to become a film director.
