ITHAKA | A Cinematic Invocation of C.P. Cavafy’s Poem
🪶 A Studio 1209® Masterpiece
🕊️ A POEM FOR HUMANITY. A FILM FOR EVERY TRAVELLER.
C.P. Cavafy’s Ithaka has guided generations across a century.
Today, for the first time, it is brought to life as a cinematic invocation, recited with reverence and crafted into moving imagery that speaks to the universal journey of becoming.
This film is offered freely to the world... an act of anidioteleia (ανιδιοτέλεια):
the Greek ideal of giving without seeking personal gain.
🌍 Subtitled in 27 Languages
To preserve the universality of the message, this film includes subtitles in:
24 EU languages + Japanese + Hindi + Simplified Chinese.
This is Ithaka as a global compass, accessible to every traveller, everywhere.
🎥 THE CINEMATIC INTERPRETATION (Studio 1209®)
Studio 1209’s direction transforms the poem into lived experience:
Waves, wind, and shifting light as the inner weather of the soul.
Harbours and markets as symbols of curiosity, learning, and becoming.
Ropes, sails, and a compass as recurring metaphors of memory and intention.
A final human moment, a young listener moved to tears... revealing that Ithaka is not a destination, but an awakening.
This is not a video.
It is a canon.
A moment of stillness in an age that rushes.
🧭 WHY ITHAKA & WHY NOW
We live in a time where the world has forgotten to walk slowly.
People search for meaning, direction, hope.
Ithaka offers exactly that:
Courage for the journey.
Patience for the becoming.
Wisdom to understand that the storms are our teachers.
The reminder that arrival is not the goal... transformation is.
This is a poem that heals.
A poem that guides.
A poem that whispers across centuries:
“Do not fear the monsters.
You carry them only if you bring them with you.”
⚖️ A GIFT TO EDUCATORS, FOUNDERS, AND SEEKERS
This cinematic invocation is for:
Teachers sharing Ithaka in classrooms.
Students discovering the poem for the first time.
Entrepreneurs walking their long road.
Parents guiding their children.
Travellers, migrants, dreamers, and anyone in search of their own homecoming
Use it freely.
Share it widely.
Let it serve as a compass of remembrance.

🕯️ A CLOSING WHISPER
You did not sail to reach the island.
You sailed so that when you arrived,
you would recognise the person you had become.
May this film accompany you on your own journey.
May it help you carry meaning, not haste.
And may your Ithaka.. whatever form it takes ...
find you wiser, fuller, and more human than when you first set out.
