DOGS OF DEMOCRACY + Q&A WITH DIRECTOR MARY ZOURNAZI

Greek-Australian filmmaker Mary Zournazi gets a dogs-eye view of modern Greece still emerging from the grip of a crisis in DOGS OF DEMOCRACY. Arriving in Athens for the first time, Zournazi finds a city in chaos where riots and teargas were becoming part of the everyday. But, among it all, there was one constant that showed the true heart of its people – the dogs.

Mary Zournazi will attend screenings of the documentary in Melbourne and Canberra this weekend to introduce the film and host a Q&A session with the audience.

MYTHOPATHY

Celebrated filmmaker Tassos Boulmetis (A Touch of Spice) returns from a 12-year hiatus with MYTHOPATHY, a long-awaited nostalgia piece that revisits the picturesque yet politically turbulent Athens of the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Funny, wistful and somewhat autobiographical, Mythopathy shows that - even when the world changes - love, heartbreak and politics stay the same.
