SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: The Broadcast; Athens\, Return to Acropolis; Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:The Broadcast (Ekpompi) Greece\, 1968 \nIn the manner of Jean Rouch’s Chronique d’un été (1961)\, the producers of a pop music television show hit the streets to ask women what makes the ideal man. A sharp satire on consumerism and escapism after the military junta known as the Regime of the Colonels seized power the year before. \n35mm\, b&w\, in Greek and English with English subtitles\, 22 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theo Angelopoulos. With: Theodoros Katsadramis\, Lina Triantafillou\, Yannis Kostoglou. \nAthens\, Return to the Acropolis (Athina\, epistrofi stin Akropoli) Greece\, 1983 \nCommissioned as an episode for a television series on the cultural capitals of Europe\, Theo Angelopoulos structured Athens\, Return to the Acropolis as a personal journey through the city where he was born and raised. Incorporating references to his artistic inspirations—the poetry of George Seferis\, the music of Manos Hadjidakis\, and the paintings of Tsarouchis—Angelopoulos searches for the places he lived as a child amid modern developments that are changing the face of the city. \nDCP\, color\, in Greek and English with English subtitles\, 55 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theo Angelopoulos. With: Kostas Meleounis\, Giorgos Alexiou\, Petros Fyssoun. \nReconstruction (Anaparastassi) Greece\, 1970 \nAfter years of working abroad in Germany\, a husband returns to his small rural village only to be murdered by his wife and her lover. Police and media descend on the town to discover the truth of the crime\, but in his first feature\, Theo Angelopoulos takes a wider view of the investigation. Based on an actual case\, the film’s story is only a pretext for Angelopoulos to explore the devastating impact of economic deprivation and changing emigration patterns on an entire region. \n35mm\, b&w\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 97 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theo Angelopoulos\, Stratis Karras\, Thanassis Valtinos. With: Toula Stathopoulou\, Yannis Totsikas\, Thanos Grammenos. \nTotal runtime: 174 min. \nFor tickets (free of charge)\, click here. \nThis film is presented by The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture with support from the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies and with the community partnership of the LAGFF. The retrospective is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Lethal Nationalism: Genocide of the Greeks\, 1913-1923
DESCRIPTION:Under the fog of war during World War 1\, the genocide of the Greeks was carried out at the hands of the Ottoman and Nationalist Turks. This Genocide became the model for all Genocides to follow\, Nearly a million Greeks were killed\, and millions more were uprooted as part of the Ottoman and Nationalist Turks’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. Lethal Nationalism explores this dark chapter of history. \nBill Kurtis\, legendary television news anchorman\, narrates this powerful documentary. “This production is one of the most important projects that I’ve ever been associated with and it provides a sobering lesson as to why we should never forget the suffering that is caused by genocide.” – Bill Kurtis \nThe screening will be followed by Q & A with the film’s director and co-producer Peter Lambrinatos\, co-producer Spiro Lambrinatos\, and George Mavropoulos\, President of the Asia Minor and Pontos Hellenic Research Center. Opening remarks will be offered by the Consul General of Greece in Los Angeles\, the Honorable Ioannis Stamatekos. \nA $10 suggested contribution will benefit the work of the Asia Minor and Pontos Hellenic Research Center.

SUMMARY:My Rembetika Blues
DESCRIPTION:Film screening and discussion with filmmaker Mary Zournazi. \nMy Rembetika Blues is a film about the power of music and what makes us human. Rembetika music or the Greek blues is a music of the streets and a music of refugees. The film explores the heart and soul of Rembetika music through peoples’ stories of love\, loss and belonging. \nRembetika developed its roots from migrant experience. Mary Zournazi’s grandmother was one of the 1.2 million refugees who fled the Smyrna disaster in Turkey in 1922 and arrived at the Port of Piraeus in Greece. She\, like many\, became part of a movement of people\, and of tradition\, which saw the birth Rembetika. \nThrough its rawness and unique style\, Rembetika provides one of the world’s foremost musical accounts of migrant experience. Through Mary Zournazi’s grandmother’s story\, Zournazi narrates a personal account of the depth of longing and belonging that is part of the migrant life. By weaving together different stories and interviews\, the film looks at the legacies of history and migration\, and how music can connect people in times of struggle and in times of need. \nDrawing on the parallels of the migrant and economic crisis in Greece\, the film explores the revival of Rembetika today\, and how it continues to convey everyday life and struggle through the fusion of street music\, hip-hop\, and other influences such as Byzantine music and the Blues. \nThe film documents peoples’ memory and experiences that are often left out of the chronicles of history. It is a universal story about love\, life and music. \nConversation following the film with musician Alexis Cohen.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: The Travelling Players
DESCRIPTION:The Travelling Players (O Thiassos) Greece\, 1975 \nA powerful vision of postwar Greek history as experienced by a troupe of actors on perennial tour\, The Travelling Players swept the awards at the 1975 Thessaloniki Film Festival and announced Theo Angelopoulos as a major international auteur.

Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theo Angelopoulos. With: Eva Kotamanidou\, Aliki Georgouli\, Vangelis Kazan. \nFor tickets (free of charge)\, click here. \nThis film is presented by The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture with support from the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies and with the community partnership of the LAGFF.
