Athens’ Kallimarmaro Stadium is abuzz\, with thousands of people gathered and millions listening through their radios. The AEK – Slavia Prague basketball game has just begun. A girl in love is dreaming of her wedding day\, while her future husband becomes more desperate with every Greek shot through the opposing team’s hoop. An elderly husband and wife remember the home they left behind. A young communist prisoner cheers from his jail cell and a PROPO betting shop becomes the place where old and new wounds resurface. Years before this night\, three Constantinopolitans decided to create an athletic union that will commemorate their story. At the end of this night\, a moment in Greek history had been made. \nDIRECTOR BIO\nTassos Boulmetis\, the director of A Touch of Spice and Mythopathy\, built his film\, “1968\,” around a true athletic triumph that made history and united a divided country. Mr. Boulmetis studied Physics at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and Film Production and Direction at the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, with a scholarship from the A. S. Onassis Foundation. In Greece he started his career as a director/producer of TV shows for the state TV networks. In 1990 he wrote\, directed and co-produced the film The Dream Factory\, which won awards in both Greece and the U.S. A Touch of Spice\, a film that he wrote\, directed and co-produced became the most successful film ever in Greece with over 1\,600\,00 theater viewers. It has been distributed in 45 countries. His third feature\, Mythopathy\, a coming-of-age story of a young man during the 70’s in Greece\, is a sarcastic comedy about the Greek political system and its path to the recent economic crisis. Boulmetis is currently artist-in-residence for Gefyra. In fall 2023\, he is teaching at UCLA and engaging in public programming at Simon Fraser University. \nThis program is made possible thanks to the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nFor parking and theater details\, please visit https://www.cinema.ucla.edu/billy-wilder-theater \nABOUT GEFYRA\nThis event is part of a series of events held in collaboration with the SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.
