In 2012 Dr. Vrasidas Karalis published ‘A History of Greek Cinema’, the first full-length book on the topic written in English by an Australian academic.
The book combines historical analysis with discussion of cinematic form in order to construct a narrative history of Greek cinematic successes and failures.
In this special talk Vrasidas will give us his insights into contemporary Greek Cinema and share with us the exciting and innovative new trends emerging from a nation that has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in recent times.
Topics include:
+ History and evolution of Greek Cinema
+ Contemporary Greek Directors and Films
+ Cinema of Crisis
