Michael Cacoyannis: the Greek of the World [Film Screenings: The Trojan Women, Our Last Spring, The Cherry Orchard & Open Discussion with the occasion of the film The Day the Fish Came Out] Free Entrance

Michael Cacoyannis
was born in June 11th 1921 in Limassol, Cyprus. The city, the country,
is the start point for Michael Cacoyannis. The threshold in order to
become citizen of the world. A cosmopolitan though, with a deep
knowledge of his routes as well as deep love for his homelands, Cyprus
and Greece.

Starting on the date of Michael Cacoyannis birth, for four days in total, at the cultural venue he created and donated to Greece, the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, we think of him through his films.

Film Screenings:
The Trojan Women 1971 [109΄], on Wednesday 11 June, at 21:30
Our Last Spring 1960 [121΄], on Friday 13 June, at 21:30
The Cherry Orchard 1999 [137΄], on Saturday 14 June, at 21:30

Characteristic
of his filmmaking is the international cooperation. Cast, partners, as
well as set locations from all around the world.
