The Athens International Film Festival, Ethnofest – Athens Ethnographic Film Festival and Greece’s Francophone Film Festival would like to express their support and solidarity to the historic Athenian movie theaters ΙΝΤΕΑΛ, ΑΣΤΟΡ and ΑΕΛΛΩ that are threatened with closure as part of the expansive plans of real estate companies.
Independent movie theaters need the direct support of the audience as well as the protection of cultural institutional bodies.
We ask that the cinematographic use of our favourite theaters does not change hoping that the “city lights” will remain on for much longer.
