Los Angeles Times, 12/15/2000, p.C12, "...FROM THE EDGE OF THE CITY bristles with an energy and passion intensified by Akis Daoutis' driving hard-rock score. Constantine Giannaris has made sharp and fresh a story both timeless and universal..."
Uncut, 08/01/2001, p.142, "[An] exceptional docu-movie. It's brutal, touching stuff."

Scene Selection
A powerful, raw film about a group of outcast teenagers living in Menidi, a predominately Greek-Russian suburb near Athens, Greece. Filmed with a pseudo-documentary style, the actors gathered together by Giannaris had no prior acting experience. Because of this, the resulting performances are even more honest and believable. Greece's official entry for consideration for the Best Foreign Film Academy Award (1999).
