SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: Ulysses' Gaze
DESCRIPTION:Ulysses’ Gaze (To Vlemma tou Odissea) Greece\, 1995 \nTheo Angelopoulos once confessed to an interviewer\, “I would like to believe the world will be saved by the cinema.” Ulysses’ Gaze gives this hope form as a Greek filmmaker known as A (Harvey Keitel) becomes obsessed with finding lost reels of film shot by the Manaki Brothers\, Yanaki and Milton\, real-life film pioneers who made the first movies in the Balkans. Relentlessly pursuing their whereabouts across the war-shattered region\, he comes to believe that this “first gaze” from the beginning of the century might reveal some meaning to those struggling at its end. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes\, Ulysses’ Gaze is the second film in Angelopoulos “Trilogy of Borders.” \n35mm\, color and b&w\, in Greek and English with English subtitles\, 176 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theo Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Petros Markaris\, Giorgio Silvagni\, Kain Tsitseli. With: Harvey Keitel\, Maia Morgenstern\, Erland Josephson. \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: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. Reception following the screening [film length is 83 minutes]. \nFilm Trailer: https://vimeo.com/536176096 \nSocial Media: https://www.facebook.com/rembetikablues/ \nView a recording of this talk here. \nParking information \nParking for Royce Hall is available in Parking Structure 5 located at: 340 Royce Drive\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095. Please park in Parking Structure 5\, which is accessible from Royce Drive\, south of Sunset Boulevard\, and west of Hilgard Ave (in the northeast section of the campus). \nNo parking attendants will be on-site at the parking structure\, and Pay-By-Space/Visitor Parking is extremely limited in this lot\, so we highly encourage you to purchase a parking permit in advance: \n\nYou may purchase your parking permit for $14 using Bruin ePermit: https://bruinepermit.t2hosted.com/pnw2/selectValue.aspx.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: The Hunters
DESCRIPTION:The Hunters (I Kynighi) Greece\, 1977 \nWhen a hunting party finds the body of a communist partisan perfectly preserved in the snow\, they carry it back to their lakeside lodge to open a formal inquest. Representatives of the  conservative elite—politicians\, military officers\, businessmen\, media figures—who have gathered to celebrate New Year’s Eve 1977\, they are suddenly confronted by the horrors that put them in power. Theo Angelopoulos once compared The Hunters to Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry and while an absurdist streak runs through the film it’s also one of the most pointed and damning political critiques of his career. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 168 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Stratis Karras.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: Alexander the Great
DESCRIPTION:Alexander the Great (O Megalexandros) Greece\, 1980 \nTheo Angelopoulos insisted that Alexander the Great was his “most simple film” to date for its linear structure\, beginning on New Year’s Eve 1900 and proceeding from there. The film’s straightforward chronology\, however\, belies the complex interplay of Greek Orthodox and Byzantine liturgy\, music\, and ritual that Angelopoulos weaves into this newly urgent politically-charged fable of a would-be liberator who devolves into despotism. A bandit leader\, Megalexandros\, sparks an international incident when he kidnaps a group of English tourists but when he and his men return to their village to hold up\, they find the revolution may have already passed them by. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek and English with English subtitles\, 199 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Petros Markaris. With: Omero Antonutti\, Eva Kotamanidou\, Mihalis Giannatos. \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.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: The Suspended Step of the Stork & The Beekeeper
DESCRIPTION:The Suspended Step of the Stork (To Meteoro Vima tou Pelargou) Greece\, 1991 \nThe plight of refugees in the Balkans and internationally dominated much of Theo Angelopoulos’ attention in the 1990s\, leading to two of his most acclaimed films\, Ulysses’ Gaze (1995) and Eternity and a Day (1998). The Suspended Step of the Stork\, which inaugurates this “Trilogy of Borders\,” however\, may be his sharpest assault on the moral and political failures of the West leading to the crisis. When a TV journalist believes he’s found a missing Greek politician living in a refugee camp\, a routine story becomes a potential blockbuster. A world-weary Marcello Mastroianni plays the mysterious refugee with Jeanne Moreau as the politician’s embittered wife who may hold the key to his identity. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 136 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theodoros Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Petros Markaris\, Dimitris Nollas\, Thanassis Valtinos. With: Marcello Mastroianni\, Jeanne Moreau\, Gregory Patrikareas. \n& \nThe Beekeeper (O Melissokomos) Greece\, 1986 \nEvery year\, Spyros (Marcello Mastroianni) takes up the family tradition of transporting its colony of bees across the rugged northern Greek countryside. This season\, however\, he’s joined by a young woman (Nadia Mourouzi) he picks up hitchhiking. Mastroianni delivers a quiet\, reserved performance that confounded some critics who felt Theo Angelopoulos had miscast the international star. But Mastroianni’s soulful silence\, however\, draws us deep into the existential crisis at the heart of the film about a generation that felt consumed by history and another in the process of forgetting it. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 122 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theo Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Dimitris Nollas. With: Marcello Mastroianni\, Nadia Mourouzi\, Jenny Roussea. \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.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: Days of '36
DESCRIPTION:Days of ’36 (Meres tou ’36) Greece\, 1972 \nA political assassination kicks off Theo Angelopoulos’ portrait of one Greek dictatorship made under the shadow of another. This opening act of violence triggers a series of more ambiguous but equally ominous machinations—a prison escape\, a hostage crisis\, foreign powers conspiring over cocktails—with Angelopoulos emphasizing the atmosphere and anxiety of political repression over specific historical events. Wide shots and 360-degree camera pans suggest a panoramic vision but actually underscore what’s hidden from view. There is very little dialogue and even less explication but the cumulative effect is deeply unnerving. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek and English with English subtitles\, 105 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Petros Markaris\, Stratis Karras\, Thanassis Valtinos. With: Vangelis Kazan\, Kostas Pavlou\, Thanos Grammenos. \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.

Lost in reveries of a brighter past\, he’s snapped back to life when\, on impulse\, he helps an Albanian refugee boy escape a police roundup.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: Landscape in the Mist

Ducking train conductors and hitching rides\, they’re befriended by Orestes\, a young man working with a troupe of traveling actors before his compulsory military service. Theo Angelopoulos conceived the children’s journey as a modern fairytale\, albeit one marked as much by darkness as wonder.

SUMMARY:Roger Michel\, "Phidias Unbound: How Robot-Generated Replicas Could Solve the Parthenon Marbles Quandary"
DESCRIPTION:The Parthenon Marbles\, commonly known as the Elgin Marbles\, were removed from the ancient Acropolis of Athens in 1801 by Lord Elgin\, British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Carved by the sculptor Phidias\, they were eventually sold to the British government in 1817 and are housed in the British Museum. Public debate about repatriating the marbles is heated and ongoing. \nCan the creation of exact copies of the originals resolve the repatriation quandary? Roger Michel\, executive director of the Institute of Digital Archaeology\, at the University of Oxford\, believes the repatriation issue can be resolved with the help of 3-D machining. His research team has developed a robot with the ability to create faithful copies of large historical objects. Michel will explore humanity’s connection to culturally significant objects and the emphasis we place on physical possession. Is possession an inherently colonial concept? Are heritage assets particularly susceptible to being exploited for the purposes of historical revisionism? Under what circumstances can copies provide satisfactory substitutes for original material? These questions will be examined against the backdrop of the IDA’s ongoing Elgin repatriation efforts. \nRoger Michel is the founder and Executive Director of the Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA). The IDA operates globally\, undertaking a huge variety of heritage projects\, many of which are aimed at advancing social justice goals. Its principal partners are the UN\, UNESCO\, and local and national governments. Mr. Michel has published and lectured frequently on various heritage conservation topics. He was a member of the faculty at BU Law School for 25 years\, is an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College (Oxford)\, and is co-publisher of Arion Magazine. Mr. Michel is a graduate of Harvard and Oxford Universities. \nThis event\, co-presented by the UCLA/Getty Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage\, is being held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles and with the generous support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

SUMMARY:Johanna Hanink\, "Bones\, Stones\, Trees\, and Roots: On the Enduring Urgency of Karkavitsas' Archeologist (1904)"
DESCRIPTION:How does a novella written more than one hundred years ago help to illuminate pressing issues in Greece today? Karkavitsas’ Archeologist\, an allegory for the contestation of antiquity’s role in Greek modernity\, was published at a time when Greece’s ancient past was emerging as a modern national industry. Major excavations were tied to the establishment of foreign schools in Greece\, while the sheer quantity of new archeological inspired a boom in museum construction. This talk will explore some of the early critiques that the work offered of the early Greek antiquity industry\, and of the mentalities – both foreign and domestic – that drove it. In the spirit of National Translation Day\, this talk will also consider the work’s many reflections on the Greek language (and the “Language Question”)\, as well as the complications the work itself presents for translation on both linguistic and cultural levels.  \nJohanna Hanink is Professor of Classics at Brown University. She is the author of Lycurgan Athens and the Making of Classical Tragedy (Cambridge 2014) and The Classical Debt: Greek Antiquity in an Age of Austerity (Harvard 2017). She is also a translator of Ancient and Modern Greek. \nThis lecture is offered on the occasion of International Translation Day\, in collaboration with the Embassy of Greece in Washington\, DC\, the UCLA Department of Classics\, and the Archaeological Institute of America\, Los Angeles Chapter. The discussion will be co-moderated by Professor Sarah Morris (Classics; Cotsen Institute of Archaeology) and Dr. Simos Zenios (UCLA SNF Hellenic Center). \nView a recording of this talk here. \nFor further information about The Archeologist and Selected Sea Stories\, visit the publisher’s site.

SUMMARY:Nostos
DESCRIPTION:On June 23 and 24\, The UCLA SNF Hellenic Center staff will be attending the Nostos festival in Athens. \nSNF Nostos is an international\, multidimensional festival bursting with avant-garde art\, scintillating conversation\, daring ideas\, irresistible music\, moving dance\, delightful performances\, participatory entertainment\, and lively sports activities for visitors of all ages. \nSNF Nostos combines a fresh lineup of beloved Greek and international artists with annual signature events: the SNF Nostos Conference featuring luminaries from diverse spheres\, the evening SNF Nostos RUN\, and the SNF Dialogues. \nThis year\, on June 23 & 24\, the SNF is taking a fresh new approach to the SNF Nostos Conference. In collaboration with journalism nonprofit iMEdD (the incubator for Media Education and Development) and with integral participation by young people coming from different fields\, countries\, and perspectives\, the SNF is creating an open\, interactive\, and dynamic two-day event for all. As part of this effort\, the SNF has created the SNF Nostos Youth Advisory Committee—a group of young people that offers space for open dialogue\, for listening to young people’s concerns and opinions on health-related issues\, and for inviting them to help shape the program of the SNF Nostos Conference. \nAt the Conference\, we will discuss the progress of the SNF Health Initiative and the core values that underpin all its individual projects\, including ensuring access to high-quality health services for all\, harnessing the power of public-private partnerships\, and implementing an open\, transparent\, and participatory development process. Through the lens of the initiative\, we will examine a range of issues—from the design and development of internationally leading public hospitals to the empowerment of nursing staff and the importance of mental health as an integral part of our overall health. A Template for Future Hospitals\, an exhibition featuring architectural models of the three new hospitals designed by Renzo Piano\, and the Renzo Piano Building Workshop included in the Initiative will also be on display. \n#snfnostos#snfnostosconference \n
