This movie did Not receive any state funding. It is a "hand made" film produced-financed entirely by its makers.
Austin Film Society's Chale Nafus wrote in his review when he presented the film in Austin: "STILL LOOKING FOR MORPHINE paved the way for DIY independent filmmaking in Greece. Upon its release in 2001, the low-budget digital film proved that filmmakers didn't have to wait for complete funding from the government or producers before creating a film. Instead they could take up a digital camera, gather a small crew and cast, tell a relatively simple story, and edit on computers. Of course, it certainly helps to have a good script and good actors (or at least believable non-professionals), just as Fagras did."
In a list spanning the whole of cinematic history compiled in celebration of the magazine's 75 years, the editor's of SIGHT AND SOUND named STILL LOOKING FOR MORPHINE "a hidden gem of world cinema" and included it on a list of 75 "great films that time forgot".
