Onassis Stegi and Flix.gr are organizing a series of sci-fi screenings with movies ranging from the daring efforts of the early days of film to the cinema of the present day.

Classic films which helped define 'sci-fi', restored prints of rarities receiving their first screening in Greece, forgotten masterpieces from around the work, and surprising shorts are to be shown in eight triple bills between October and December. A revelatory journey to places cinema got to long before reality caught up.
