New paths open for Metaichmio
Dimitris Mingas’s novel «Sta psemata paizame» (We Were Only Joking), published by Metaichmio, is being made into a miniseries for Spanish television. The Catalan Cinema Institute, an independent company that has made many prize-winning films, television series and theater productions, has a tradition of adapting novels for the screen, including works by Manuel Vazquez Montalban and Eduardo Mendoza. The company likes Mingas’s book for what it saw as a direct, frank account of the rapid political changes that have taken place in Europe over the past 30 years.
