Great news that the long awaited public premiere of our Committee's latest project - the documentary Anzac The Greek Chapter - have been announced and bookings are now being taken.
This important new documentary created for the Committee by filmmakers Dr Peter Ewer and John Irwin features the Greek campaign veterans themselves re-telling their experiences of the campaign in 1941. For more information on the background and details of the documentary, click here.
The screenings will take place in Melbourne and Sydney as part of this year's Greek Film Festival in October. The screening in Melbourne will take place at 8.30pm on 17 October 2024 and in Sydney at 2.30pm on 19 October 2024.
Each of these screenings will include a special Q&A session where well-known journalist (and Greek campaign veteran's son) Barrie Cassidy - the narrator of the documentary - will interview filmmaker and historian Dr Peter Ewer. Historian Jim Claven OAM - the Associate Producer of the documentary - will also take part in the Melbourne Q&A.
There will be an additional screening in Melbourne at 4.30pm on 27 October. 2024.
