It had been nearly three decades since a film was last screened in Ciné Apollon, an open-air theater in the resort town of Edipsos on the north shore of the Greek island of Evia. But the arrival of several hundred moviegoers on June 15 for a screening of French filmmaker Coline Serreau’s “La Belle Verte” offered a much-needed sense of rebirth: for the cinema, and for an island that was devastated by catastrophic wildfires last summer.
Addressing a crowd of several hundred on opening night, Thessaloniki festival director Orestis Andreadakis recalled the devastation wrought by last summer’s fires, a tragedy that compelled festival leadership to spring into action. “The images that we saw last year really overwhelmed us, and we felt the obligation to come and plant a seed of culture here,” he said.
Festival screenings were open to the public and held in outdoor cinemas at three locations in northern Evia.
The climate crisis has become an inescapable fact of daily life, with each new heretofore-unheard-of weather phenomenon offering a solemn reminder that the time to act is now – if there is still time to spare.
