Our Committee is excited to announce the forthcoming screening of our new commemorative documentary Anzac The Greek Chapter in Adelaide.
The screening will be held at the Henley and Grange RSL at 2-5pm on 4 May as part of Adelaide's iconic annual Festival Hellenika. This Festival has been held over many years and celebrates the best of Hellenic culture. One of the filmmakers - historian Dr Peter Ewer - will be travelling specially from Melbourne to attend the screening and be available to discuss the film as the screening.
All are welcome to attend. For more on the Festival, click here.
The film tells the story of the Anzacs in the Greek campaign of 1941 in their own words, drawing on an over 130 hour archive of veteran interviews created by renowned Greek campaign historian Dr Peter Ewer. They tell their story of their experiences of the campaign as they traversed over mainland Greece and on to Crete. Funded by the Australian Government and supported by our Committee, the film was created for the Committee by Peter and filmmaker John Irwin assisted by myself and Vicki Kyritsis on behalf of the Committee. The film was launched at the Greek Film Festival in Sydney and Melbourne last year to great praise. For more information on the documentary, please click here.
On behalf of our Committee, I would like to thank the Festival Hellenika and its President Dr Adoni Fotopoulos for their desire to bring this important documentary on one of the most important aspects of the Hellenic link to Australia's Anzac story to Adelaide. We are proud that it will be showcased as part of this great festival program.
More screenings are planned, including in Greece - watch this space.
