SUMMARY:19th Los Angeles Greek Film Festival - Screening
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture \nand the \n19th Los Angeles Greek Film Festival\npresent the West Coast premiere of\nLAST BREATH (LE DERNIER SOUFFLE)\nDirected by Costa-Gavras \nFollowed by a conversation with Oliver Stone and Costa-Gavras \nSaturday\, May 31\, 2025\n6:30 p.m. \nUCLA James Bridges Theater\n235 Charles E. Young Drive East\n1409 Melnitz Hall\nLos Angeles\, CA 90095\nReception to follow\nGeneral Admission – $20 + fee\nBuy tickets \nAbout the film:\nIn a kind of philosophical dialogue\, Doctor Augustin Masset and renowned writer Fabrice Toussaint discuss life and death… A whirlwind of encounters in which the doctor is the guide and the writer\, his passenger led to confront his own fears and anxieties… A poetic ballet\, where each patient is a tome of emotions\, laughter and tears… A journey to the throbbing heart of our lives. \nAbout the director:\nAcademy Award and Palme d’Or-winner\, President of the Cinémathèque Française\, and a master of both activist and idealist cinema\, Costa-Gavras has pushed the filmmaking boundaries since the 1960s; from redefining crime noir\, to tackling difficult transnational subjects\, to continually engaging audiences by presenting universal themes in a singular way. \nFollowing the screening\, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone will sit down with Costa-Gavras in an extended conversation. Both critically acclaimed political and social master storytellers\, Oliver Stone and Costa-Gavras have used their compelling and powerful art to create conversation starters influenced by living histories and personal experiences. Oliver Stone has said\, “Truth is the greatest treasure a Socratic soul can attain in this lifetime”; and Costa-Gavras\, “It’s important not to describe the character of the situation\, but… the ethical meaning… the ethic of truthfulness is something very precise.” From SALVADOR and MISSING\, PLATOON and SHOCK TROOPS\, JFK and Z\, NATURAL BORN KILLERS and MAD CITY\, U-TURN and SLEEPING CAR MURDERS\, WALL STREET and CAPITAL\, THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES and THE COSTA-GAVRAS CENTURY\, to name very few\, Oliver Stone and Costa-Gavras have repeatedly led audiences on daring visual journeys to witness humanity\, question the narrative\, and search for an independent sense of truth. Held in partnership with the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival\, and part of the LAGFF Costa-Gavras multi-event Tribute\, we are honored to co-present this once-in-a-lifetime live conversation between Oliver Stone and Costa-Gavras that is not to be missed! \nThe 19th Los Angeles Greek Film Festival runs May 27 – June 1\, 2025.

We are proud to co-host with the LAGFF the festival’s opening night\, featuring a screening of Black Stone and honoring the novelist\, screenwriter\, film\, and television producer George Pelecanos with the 2023 Honorary Orpheus Award. Pelecanos’ longtime collaborator\, director\, producer\, and former HBO Executive\, Kary Antholis\, will present the Award. \n\nOur feature film: \nBLACK STONE \nWhile filming absent civil servants\, a documentary crew stumbles upon Haroula\, a desperate\, overprotective Greek mother searching for her son. But when her son is accused of fraud\, Haroula sets out with her other disabled son and a Greek-African taxi driver to bring him back home where he belongs\, even if it means discovering who her son really is. \nWe are joined in discussion by the film’s director\, Spiros Jacovides\, actor and musician Kevin Zans Ansong\, and members of the creative team. \nSpiros Jacovides was born in London and studied Directing at Stavrakou College after completing his Film Studies degree from the London College of Printing. In 1998 he became a guest student of the acclaimed German University of Berlin\, DFFB. Since 2000\, Spiros worked as A.D. in various TV Commercials. Currently\, he writes\, produces\, and directs TVCs\, Web Ads\, Short Docs\, Corporate videos\, and Video Clips. So far\, he has written and directed three short films. “Black Stone” is his first feature film. \n\nBorn in the economically depressed Athenian district of Ambelokipi and growing up in and around the neglected Kipseli neighborhood\, Kevin Zans Ansong (Black Morris) made his first tentative steps in the world of Greek rap next to the legendary MC ‘Taki Tsan’ and has since gone on to flesh out his unique and intuitive voice amongst the new breed in his hometown. He has resonated with those in the know up North as The Thessaloniki Hip Hop Festival chose “Black Morris” as their Best New Artist of the Year in 2014. \n\nThe event is produced by writer/director Fay Efrosini Lellios\, a longtime collaborator of George Pelecanos and a friend of LAGFF. \nTickets \n$60 – General Admission \nTo purchase\, visit https://www.lagff.org/event/lagff-2023-opening-night/ \nFor more information about the festival\, visit www.lagff.org \nParking Information \nThe James Bridges Theater is located in Melnitz Hall on the UCLA campus\, near the intersection of Sunset Blvd and Hilgard Ave.  Address: 235 Charles E Young Dr N\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095  + Google Map \n\nTo save time\, you may purchase your parking permit for $15 in advance using Bruin ePermit: https://bruinepermit.t2hosted.com/pnw2/selectValue.aspx.  Select “UCLA Campus Event\,” then “L.A.

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.
