Our Lee Chang-dong retrospective continued with “Poetry”, while Yorgos Lanthimos’s curated programme featured Miloš Forman’s “The Firemen’s Ball”. Also on the programme: “Club Kid”, “Viva Carmen!”, “Never After Dark”, “At Night”, five Greek short films and “Pulp: What Do You Do for an Encore?”. We began with Olympia Mytilinaiou’s masterclass “The Emotional Image” at the Athens Concert Hall and rounded off the day with “Do You Remember the First Time? — A History of British Pop” at PRAXITELOUS.
