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. The retrospective is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles.

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. As their unexpected friendship grows\, Eternity and Day offers a profound meditation on the boundaries\, real and imagined\, between nations\, between past and present\, between life and death.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: Landscape in the Mist
DESCRIPTION:Landscape in the Mist (Topio stin Omichli) Greece/France/Italy\, 1988 \nA young girl and her brother run away to find the father they’ve never met in Germany. 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. As they seek a father displaced by economics\, their encounters reveal a whole generation set adrift\, waiting in limbo. The final installment in Angelopoulos’ “Trilogy of Silence\,” this was his eighth feature and the first to find theatrical distribution in the United States. \n35mm\, color\, 127 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Thanassis Valtinos.

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

SUMMARY:The Valerie Estes Memorial Lecture and Performance: "Echoes of the Great Catastrophe: Re-Sounding Anatolian Greekness in Diaspora\," by Panayotis (Paddy) League
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Professor Panayotis League explores the legacy of the “Great Catastrophe”—the death and expulsion from Turkey of 1.5 million Greek Christians following the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922—through the music and dance practices of Greek refugees and their descendants over the last one hundred years. Drawing on original ethnographic research conducted in Greece (on the island of Lesvos in particular) and in the Greater Boston area\, Dr. League will analyze handwritten music manuscripts\, homemade audio recordings\, and contemporary live performances\, tracing the routes of repertoire and style over generations and back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean and investigating ways that the particular musical traditions of the Anatolian Greek community have contributed to their understanding of their place in the global Greek diaspora and the wider post-Ottoman world. \nThe lecture will be followed by a concert drawing on Dr. League‘s lifelong immersion in Greek traditions\, exploring intertextual relationships between songs from the Greek Aegean islands and associated poetry\, performed on laouto (steel-string lute)\, guitar\, and tsambouna (goatskin bagpipe). \nPanayotis (Paddy) League (Professor of Musicology & Director of the Center for Music of the Americas\, Florida State University) is a musicologist\, author\, performer\, and composer specializing in the traditional music\, dance\, and oral poetry of the Greek islands\, Brazil\, and Ireland – as well as the electric guitar music of the American South. His research has been published in several leading academic journals and his first monograph\, Echoes of the Great Catastrophe: Re-Sounding Anatolian Greekness in Diaspora\, which focuses on the legacy of Late Ottoman intercommunality in the music and dance practices of Greek refugees and their descendants\, was published in 2021 by University of Michigan Press. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles.\n\n\nRSVP: https://bit.ly/3uRcijT\n\nInformation for attendees: \nUCLA Faculty\, Students and Staff must complete the Daily Symptom Monitoring Survey in advance of coming to campus. \nMasks are highly recommended\, but not required\, for all guests attending indoor events.

SUMMARY:Eleni Kefala\, "Strangers No More: Constantinople\, Tenochtitlan\, and the Trauma of the Conquest"
DESCRIPTION:The Byzantines had long dreaded the year 1492. According to their calculations based on the Scriptures\, it would bring the end of the world. In an eerie stroke of irony\, they were right in their fears. Even though they were slightly off in the timing of the fall of Constantinople into the hands of the Ottomans\, they anticipated with uncanny accuracy the end of the world as they knew it. Columbus’s crossing of the Atlantic paved the way for the European colonization of the Americas. But what is there in common between Byzantium and America beyond some bemusing serendipities? This paper approaches that question by rehistoricizing the fall of Byzantine Constantinople (1453) and Aztec Tenochtitlan (1521) while looking at three sorrowful poems composed by anonymous Greek and Aztec authors soon after the conquest of the Byzantine and Mexica empires.\nEleni Kefala is Senior Lecturer at the University of St Andrews. Her work explores modernity across different periods and cultures from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. She is the author of Peripheral (Post) Modernity: The Syncretist Aesthetics of Borges\, Piglia\, Kalokyris\, and Kyriakidis (2007)\, The Conquered: Byzantium and America on the Cusp of Modernity (2020)\, and Buenos Aires Across the Arts: Five and One Theses on Modernity (2022)\, and editor of Negotiating Difference in the Hispanic World: From Conquest to Globalisation (2011). \nEvent Co-Sponsored by the SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies\, Simon Fraser University. \nTo register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/300210596977 \n

SUMMARY:Roderick Beaton\, "Asia Minor in the Life and Work of George Seferis"
DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of National Poetry Month \nIn May 1944\, at the height of a new crisis facing the Greek government in exile during World War II\, which he served as a high-ranking diplomat\, George Seferis confided these thoughts to his Alexandrian Greek friend Timos Malanos: ‘It might surprise you if I tell you that the event that has affected me more than anything is the Asia Minor Catastrophe. . . . From the age of 13 I’ve never ceased to be a refugee.’ This talk describes Seferis’s early life in Smyrna and the seaside village of Skala tou Vourla\, and the ways in which he came to reflect on both\, in later essays and poems. Moving forward to the end of the 1940s\, the story resumes when the poet returned to his birthplace while serving in the Greek embassy in Ankara. During this period\, traveling widely in Asia Minor\, Seferis experienced what he termed a ‘wider Hellenism’\, one that encompassed the Hellenistic expansion in the wake of the conquests of Alexander the Great and continued throughout the millennium of the Byzantine Empire. From these later experiences\, and the poems\, essays\, and diaries that he wrote at the time\, it emerges that\, for Seferis\, Asia Minor had become not only his own ‘lost homeland’ and that of his family and more than a million of his contemporaries: it was also the ‘lost homeland’ of Hellenism itself\, whose heartland it had been for many centuries. \nRoderick Beaton grew up in Edinburgh and studied English Literature at Cambridge\, before specializing in Modern Greek studies. For thirty years until his retirement\, he held the Koraes Chair of Modern Greek and Byzantine History\, Language and Literature at King’s College London\, and is now Emeritus. Beaton is the author of several books of non-fiction\, one novel\, and several translations of fiction and poetry\, all of them connected to Greece and the Greek-speaking world. He is a four-time winner of the Runciman Award\, and his books have been shortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize and the Cundill History Prize. He is a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA)\, a Fellow of King’s College (FKC)\, and Commander of the Order of Honour of the Hellenic Republic. From 2019 to 2021 he served as a member of the Committee “GREECE 2021\,” charged by the Greek government with overseeing events commemorating the 200th anniversary of the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821\, and from September to December 2021 as A.G. Leventis Visiting Professor in Greek at the University of Edinburgh. His latest book\, The Greeks: A Global History\, is published by Basic Books (October 2021). \nThis event will be introduced by Her Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States. \nExclusive poetry reading by renowned Greek actor Stelios Mainas (Tetarti 04:45\, Mystikes Diadromes\, The island) \nRSVP here. \nDownload handout of readings.

SUMMARY:Makriyannis Unplugged - Adapted\, Directed and Performed by Yorgos Karamihos
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated director and actor Yorgos Karamihos pays tribute to General Yannis Makriyannis\, the hero of the 1821 Greek Revolution\, in a show that tells the story of a nation in revolt and an individual in the process of self-formation. Adapting selected passages of Makriyannis’ Memoirs\, a seminal work of Modern Greek letters\, Makriyannis Unplugged renders the Greek hero of the nineteenth century our contemporary\, a figure rooted in a local tradition but with a global significance. The work by Karamihos offers a raw theatrical experience that resonates with Makriyannis’ spirit\, challenging and enriching our understanding of freedom\, community\, duty\, and creativity. \n \nYorgos Karamihos is an acclaimed actor\, director\, and acting teacher\, born and raised in Northern Greece.
