Posted on Sunday, September 20, 2026

The Motion Plus Design festival drops into Brooklyn this Saturday and will open with these riveting titles, an fresh combination of surreality and grit from director Tony Zagoraios and his crew at Yeti Pictures in Athens.

Tony Zagoraios, founder/CD: We were inspired primarily by the urban atmosphere of a postmodern metropolis like New York, we envisioned a series of distinct worlds, rendered through a stark black-and-white, film noir aesthetic.
