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.

Όταν ο Βάγκνερ συνάντησε τις ντομάτες | When tomatoes met Wagner (2019) by Marianna Economou

On Tuesday 19 November 2019 at 19:00 and on Wednesday 20 November 2019 at 21:00 the documentary When tomatoes met Wagner (Greece, 2019, 72 min, colour) by Marianna Economou will be screened in cinema Utopia, in the Greek original version with English subtitles. The film is suitable for children older than 12. The documentary was submitted by Greece for the Best International Feature Film Award at the 2020 Academy Awards.

Synopsis

The film is a story about an ordinary rural community, where things start to happen in an extraordinary way. After centuries of introversion, the tomato stirs up life in the village and its thirty three elderly inhabitants respond to a new reality. On top of this, Alexandros plays Wagner in the tomato fields to help them grow, uses stories to market the products and convinces people from all over the world to visit Elias. With humour and poetry, When Tomatoes Met Wagner speaks to us about the power of human relationships and the importance of reinventing oneself during difficult times.

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.
