On Tuesday 13 October at 19:00 and on Wednesday 14 October at 21:00 the film My name is Eftyhia (Greece, 2019, 123 min, colour) directed by Angelos Frantzis will be screened in cinema Utopia, in the Greek original version with English subtitles. The film is suitable for children over 16.

Inspired by the life of the most prolific Greek female poet and lyricist, Eftihia Papagiannopoulou; an extraordinary woman and artist who has created a massive volume of timeless and popular songs. She travelled from Smyrna to Greece. She lived every day of her life as if it were her last. She wrote incessantly on any surface she could find.

A teacher who became an actress and played in streets and in theatres, a poet who became the greatest Greek folk songwriter. She collaborated with all the famous music personalities of the country, bravely asserting herself to a cruel and typically male-dominated world.

The film draws inspiration from the passions and weaknesses of Eftihias’ exuberant personality, unconventional character, following her pioneer life and the indelible mark she inherited to Greek folk song writing.

Coming back in October - Έναρξη τον Οκτώβριο

Dear members and friends of the Greek Cinema Club of Luxembourg,

This year, as you know, we only had screenings for the first two months. The Coronavirus pandemic obliged us to cancel the screening of March, for which we had planned the film of the Cypriot director Saimon Farmakas “Sunrise in Kimmeria” in his presence, as well as the screenings of the following months up to the summer holidays. The Committee of our Club discussed the possibility of starting again our screenings in September and decided that it is preferable, due to the outbreak and the measures applied in cinemas, not to hurry and postpone our re-start for the month of October, depending on the situation at that time.

We would also like to inform our members that they should not worry about the membership fees they have paid for 2020. When we restart our screenings we will find an arrangement with the next year’s fees.

We wish you nice holidays with safety and health and we hope to meet again soon in the cinema.

The Committee of the Greek Cinema Club of Luxembourg.

Αγαπητά μέλη και φίλοι της Ελληνικής Κινηματογραφικής Λέσχης Λουξεμβούργου,

Τη φετινή χρονιά, όπως ξέρετε, μπορέσαμε να πραγματοποιήσουμε μόνο τις προβολές των δύο πρώτων μηνών. Η πανδημία του κορονοϊού μάς υποχρέωσε να ματαιώσουμε την προβολή του Μαρτίου, για την οποία είχαμε προγραμματίσει την ταινία του Κύπριου σκηνοθέτη Σάιμον Φαρμακά «Sunrise in Kimmeria» στην οποία θα παρευρισκόταν και ο σκηνοθέτης, αλλά και τις προβολές των επόμενων μηνών μέχρι τις διακοπές του καλοκαιριού. Στο ΔΣ της Λέσχης συζητήσαμε την πιθανότητα να ξεκινήσουμε και πάλι τις προβολές μας τον Σεπτέμβριο και αποφασίσαμε ότι είναι προτιμότερο, λόγω της έξαρσης των κρουσμάτων που παρατηρείται τον τελευταίο καιρό και των μέτρων που εφαρμόζονται στους κινηματογράφους, να μην βιαστούμε και να μεταθέσουμε την επανέναρξη των προβολών μας, καλώς εχόντων των πραγμάτων, για τον Οκτώβριο.

Θα θέλαμε επίσης να πούμε στα μέλη μας ότι δεν θα πρέπει να ανησυχούν για τη συνδρομή που έχουν πληρώσει για το 2020. Όταν ξαναρχίσουμε τις προβολές μας θα βρούμε τρόπο να την συμψηφίσουμε με τη συνδρομή της επόμενης χρονιάς.

Σας ευχόμαστε καλές διακοπές με ασφάλεια και υγεία και ελπίζουμε να μην αργήσουμε να ξανασυναντηθούμε στην αίθουσα του κινηματογράφου.

Το Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο της Ελληνικής Κινηματογραφικής Λέσχης Λουξεμβούργου.
