RMIT’s The Best Films You’ve Never Seen series presents ‘Land, Legacy & Loss: Contemporary Greek Cinema and Environmental Crisis’, a very special screening event exploring contemporary Greek cinema’s engagement with environmental crisis and the tensions between tradition and progress. 

Curated by RMIT’s Alexia Kannas in collaboration with Athens-based curator and scholar Geli Mademli (Thessaloniki Film Festival; Syros Film Festival), this unique event explores how contemporary Greek cinema negotiates the tension between economic growth and environmental preservation, and engages with the pressures exerted by resource extraction, gentrification and tourism.  

Join us for this celebration of Greece’s bold and visually arresting cinema, brought to you by RMIT Cinema Studies and RMIT Culture in partnership with Neos Kosmos, and supported by Environmental Films Australia.
