SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: The Weeping Meadow
DESCRIPTION:The Weeping Meadow (To Livadi pou Dakryzei) Greece\, 2004 \nA family history told in wide shot\, The Weeping Meadow spans the turbulent decades between 1919 and the end of the Greek Civil War in 1949 as they buffet the lives of Eleni (Alexandra Aidini) and her adoptive brother and lover Alexis (Nikos Poursanidis). Taken in by Alexis’ family\, Eleni and Alexis fall in love and flee his oppressive father with the help of itinerant musicians touring the country as it descends into war and chaos. Intended as the first installment in a trilogy of Greek history and with its clear echoes of The Traveling Players (1975)\, The Weeping Meadow feels like a summing up by a director who thought of his films as chapters in one continuous story. \n35mm\, color\, 163 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Petros Markaris\, Giorgio Silvagni. With: Alexandra Aidini\, Nikos Poursanidis\, Giorgos Armenis. \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: 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. With: Vangelis Kazan\, Eva Kotamanidou\, Giorgos Danis. \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: 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. The retrospective is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles.

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: Voyage to Cythera
DESCRIPTION:Voyage to Cythera (Taxidi sta Kithira) Greece\, 1984 \nAfter years living in exile in the Soviet Union\, a communist resistance fighter\, Spyros (Manos Katrakis)\, returns home to the dismay of his family and neighbors. His son Alexandros (Giulio Brogi) is a filmmaker casting a movie set during the German occupation while the villagers of his hometown are on the verge of transforming their rural farmland into a tourist resort. With his sudden\, defiant presence\, Spyros threatens to disrupt their efforts to excise the past through art or commerce. A reworking of the myth of Odysseus’ return\, Cythera is the first film in Angelopoulos’ “Trilogy of Silence.” \n35mm\, color\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 133 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Thanassis Valtinos.

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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:"When Tomatoes Met Wagner\," directed by Marianna Economou
DESCRIPTION:Elias\, a small farming village in central Greece\, is dying out. But two cousins team up with the village grannies to cultivate the tomato seeds they have kept for hundreds of years. With a little help from Wagner’s music –which they use to help their tomatoes grow– the team succeeds to export little jars with organic tomato recipes across the world. The film follows the protagonists of this unlikely quest\, as they struggle to survive and make their dream come true. Humorous and bittersweet\, this is a story about the importance of reinventing oneself in times of crisis and the power of human relationships.
