Marina Satti Offers up an Unapologetic Voice on Media Cannibalism in Video ‘Epano Sto Trepezi'

Directors duo Fa & Fon craft a visually stunning journey that mirrors the artist's unique fusion of tradition and modernity. Marina’s magnetic presence shines as she leads dynamic dance sequences, blending storytelling with her vibrant cultural roots. The directors weave symbolic imagery into the narrative, amplifying the song’s themes of unity and diversity.

Fa & Fon said, "For Epano Sto Trepezi, we collaborated closely with Marina, immersing ourselves in her vision and drawing from her experience in the entertainment industry. Together, we set out to create something daring, something that shatters the polished façade of the showbiz world and also the online criticism that comes with being exposed on social media. The video serves as a raw, unapologetic commentary on media cannibalism and the toxic rhetoric of hate and judgement perpetuated by both the media and the public.

"We infused the visuals with symbolism, paired with our go to moments of playfulness and self deprecating humour, at one point, Marina is quite literally hit in the face with a PSP loaded with real, cruel comments people have posted about her online, an unmistakable metaphor for being literally struck by trolling. While the imagery invites interpretation, we made some of it deliberately literal, no need for deep deciphering, there’s lamb and wolf imagery because she’s quite literally a lamb being brought to the slaughter.

"Despite the dark humour, it’s always crucial for us that Marina delivers a performance that radiates confidence, power, and an effortless sense of nonchalance. This is a recurring thread in all our videos with a female lead, no matter the narrative, their unapologetic strength and authenticity remain front and centre. 

"The process was both rewarding and creatively challenging. The team was a dream to collaborate with, open, supportive, and incredibly engaged. Working with a predominantly Greek team, who brought such artistic expression and attention to detail, pushed us to reach our creative best in the most inspiring way."
