Open Cinema kicks off with two Greek film selected by Syllas Tzoumerkas

Onassis Culture and the Hellenic Film Academy join their forces for an ‘Open Cinema.’ Open to diverse genres, to short, feature, and medium length, to fiction, documentary, and animation films, but also to the ones that defy any categorization. A Cinema Open to renowned directors who paved the way for the Greek film industry, and still inspire, but also to new and bold voices at the start of their career. Open to all people, languages, themes, and diverse gazes. Wishing that very soon we will meet again at the open movie theaters across Greece and the world.

‘Open Cinema’ kicks off with an initiative that brings together filmmakers of the past and the new generation, yesterday’s and today’s Greek films. Syllas Tzoumerkas, Zacharias Mavroeidis, and Dionysis Samiotis, winners of 2020 Iris Awards, for Best Film Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Feature Film, respectively, select each two Greek films that have defined and inspired their work. The films are screened at the YouTube Onassis Channel, starting from February 19, and for three consecutive weekends.
