The city and the city | Η πόλη κι η πόλη (2021) by Christos Passalis and Syllas Tzoumerkas

 

On Tuesday 15 November at 19:00 and on Wednesday 16 November at 21:00 the film THE CITY AND THE CITY (Greece, 2021, 87 min, colour & black and white) directed by Christos Passalis and Syllas Tzoumerkas will be screened in cinema Utopia, in the original version (Greek and other languages) with English subtitles. The film is suitable for children over 12.

Synopsis

The untold story of the life and perils of the Jewish community of Thessaloniki, in six chapters. The past and the present of a city, meet and converge at its cracks. Unlike most films about the Holocaust, The City and the City does not record episodes from the Nazi concentration camps, but instead focuses on the geography of memory. In this film, memory is omnipresent in the geography of a modern city because it refers not to the past, but to the present and the future. That is why the form of the film is unexpected and unclassifiable, like the memory of its two filmmakers, who return to Thessaloniki, their birthplace, and offer to guide us into the abyss.

Cast

Vassilis Kanakis (Leon), Alexandros Vardaxoglou (Maurice), Angeliki Papoulia (Sarina), Niki Papandreou (Nina), Argyris Xafis (Avraam), Vassilis Karaboulas (Isaac), Themis Bazaka (Matika), Maria Filini (the mother), Laertis Malkotsis (the camping owner), Marisha Triantafyllidou (clerk), Fritz Fenne (German officer), Jakob Leo Stark (German officer), Marina Siotou (the woman at the barrels), Fidel Talaboukas (Slomo), Aris Armaganidis (Ben), Zoe Sigalou (Lilly), Danai Primali (Rosa), Michalis Kimonas (father), Vassia Bakakou (villager) and others.

Το αγόρι στη γέφυρα | Boy on the bridge (2016) by Petros Charalambous

On Tuesday 21 September at 19:00 and on Wednesday 22 September at 21:00 the film BOY ON THE BRIDGE (Cyprus, 2016, 85 min, colour) directed Petros Charalambous will be screened in cinema Utopia, in the Greek original version with English subtitles. The film is suitable for children over 12 years old.

Synopsis

The 85-minute-long drama is director Petros Charalambous’ first feature film and is based on the novel The Land of the Golden Apple by Eve Makis. Set in the 1980’s, the coming-of-age film has as its main character 12-year-old Socrates, who finds himself involved in a murder investigation. While he looks for clues to solve the murder, he discovers that some people close to him may be involved in the crime, making him question his own identity.


In a seemingly idyllic Cyprus village, Socrates leads a life of unalloyed pleasure with his cousin and best friend Marcos - setting off homemade fireworks, tormenting local pensioners, hurtling through the village on their bicycles and defying the hapless local authorities. However, a shadow is cast over Socrates' life when he discovers that Marcos and his family are being abused by their violent father, Hambo, a gambler and a loan shark. As Socrates resolves to get to the truth before the police, he uncovers evidence that links those he loves to the crime and makes him question his own identity. Under the gloss of his idyllic surroundings lurks a dark family secret ready to turn his carefree life upside down. We follow Socrates on a thrilling and perilous journey of self-discovery as he learns the meaning of love, family loyalty and courage.
