Special Jury Award in Fantasporto, Portugal (a special and deep movie)
Money, A Mythology of Darkness (Greek: Το χρήμα - Μια μυθολογία του Σκότους, 1998) is a feature Greek film directed by the Greek director, writer and producer Vassilis Mazomenos.
It was the first European feature 3D animation film and was awarded in 1998 with the Greek Ministry of Culture National Cinema Award and in 1999 with the Special Jury Award in Fantasporto (Portugal). In 1999 had also the Nomination for the Best European Fantasy Film and presented in a lot of festivals around the world such as Sitges Film Festival, Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival.
As Vrasidas Karalis wrote in the History of Greek cinema: Vassilis Mazomenos released his mesmerizing and terrifying apocalyptic phantasmagoria Money—A mythology of Darkness (Hrima, mia mythologia tou skotous) in 1998. A visual essay on the impact of money on humanity, it is a film that deserves more attention and which proves the potential of new technologies in the creation of a new kind of cinematic language. With this film, Mazomenos created a trilogy of philosophical essays by means of visual experimentations. Part of the film trilogy about the end of the West, that was presented and awarded in the 2001 retrospective in Fantasporto.

Poem 1
No more tears,
The graves have closed.
The first dead
Are the fertilizer of liberty.
Alekos Panagoulis (1939–1976)
Panagoulis is better known as a political figure than as a poet, particularly for his attempted assassination of the dictator Georgios Papadopoulos during the Junta, in 1968.
Poem 2
Gentlemen, don’t let anything,
anyone, deceive you:
we were not bankrupted today,
we have been bankrupt for a long time now.
Today it’s easy enough
for anyone to walk on water:
the empty bottles bob on the surface
without carrying any secret messages.
The sirens don’t sing, nor are they silent,
they merely stay motionless,
dumbstruck by the privatization
of the waves and no
poetry doesn’t suffice since the sea filled up
with trash and condoms.
Let him write as many sonnets as he wants about Faliro,
that Lorentzos Mavilis.
—Poetry Does Not Suffice
Stamatis Polenakis (b. 1970)
Poem 2
You did not think this was war
for you couldn’t see the blood, the wounded,
but you saw those, the dead
bending over the garbage bins
high noon in the heart of the city
pleaders in the trash of shopping malls
the hungry, the dead tellers begging
you saw them
War I say, war
with no ammunition and gunfire
generals,
the grey suits and the white collars
new aged computers used as heavy guns
War
my refuge was sold
your hands were sold
dreams were sold
voice, mouth were sold
our existence was sold…
…
How can we look into our children’s eyes?
And please never forget
that there is not greater guilt
than our own tolerance
If you only knew with how
little love
the world could change...
