24th Greek Film Festival

CLOSING NIGHT EVENT - 22 October at THE ASTOR THEATRE

Closing Night Event: Cloudy Sunday

The untold story of Thessaloniki’s Jewish community during the Second World War.

This gorgeous biopic returns by popular demand for a special encore screening to celebrate the end of the Festival. Based on a book by George Skarbadonis, Cloudy Sunday (Dir. Manousos Manousakis) is an epic collision of love and tragedy – fact and fiction – using the soul-stirring music of rebetika legend Vasilis Tsitsanis as its heartbeat.

SUNDAY 22 OCTOBER, 6:30pm | THE ASTOR THEATRE

1 Chapel Street (Cnr Dandenong Rd) St Kilda

Screening of Cloudy Sunday followed by celebratory drinks and live rebetika from Melbourne’ beloved band, REBETIKI.
