Greek writer and director Nikos Koundouros (1926–2017) was a versatile filmmaker whose work existed in the intersections of neorealism, film noir, experimental cinema and mythology, without whom, it's been said, “nothing can be understood in the subsequent history of Greek cinema” (Vrasidas Karalis).
This season allows Melbourne audiences to experience several of the key works of a singular and revolutionary artist.

Presented in partnership with the Greek-Australian Film Society.
