Watch the film and join us in discussing it together with Cinobo’s facilitators!
Inspired by June’s theme, “Archives,” we invite you to participate in our discussion about this Greek production of acclaimed creators Syllas Tzoumerkas and Christos Passalis, a film that sheds a bold light, for the very first time, on some dark and shameful chapters of modern Greek history, as well as on the convenient oblivion that ensued.
Film Synopsis:
A chilling cinematic venture that blurs the boundaries between fiction, documentary and “essay film” to become a much-needed contemporary historical text that fearlessly looks at the past and the present.
Six episodes from the life and suffering of the Jewish community of Thessaloniki are filmically fused with the modern-day city, creating a multi-faceted cinematic narrative in which two cities coexist within the same context: the city of Thessaloniki of the previous century and the city of Thessaloniki as it is now.
Coordinators Tasos Melemenidis (Curation and Acquisitions Manager, Cinobo), Thodoris Dimitropoulos (Curation Consultant, Cinobo), Tasos Chatziefraimidis (Curator, Cinobo), Eftychia Terzi (Programming Assistant, Cinobo)
