FILMS IN THE TRIBUTE
THE FLOWERS STAND SILENTLY, WITNESSING – Thodoris Panagopoulos (2024, 17’)
Watch the trailer here
With roots in Greece, Lebanon, and Palestine, director Thodoris Panagopoulos draws inspiration from a precious and rare film archive: two silent 16mm films from the 1930s-40s depicting the beauty of Palestinian wildflowers.
A documentary about the people of Palestinian land, preserving collective memory, and the value of historical material as a form of resistance against cultural erasure.

NON-ESSENTIAL MOVEMENT – Nikoleta Leousi (2024, 19’)
Watch the trailer here
1895 was an interesting year. The first motorized bus was built and put into circulation. In March of the same year, the Lumière brothers filmed workers leaving their factory.
In March 2020, the window of vision narrowed. City life almost stopped. Aimless travel was banned and cinemas closed. Today, what does the city miss most? Cinemas, or aimless movement?

Watch the trailer here
A production of ONASSIS CULTURE.
The children and grandchildren of Albanian immigrants of the 1990s are born and raised in Greece. Ilir Tsuko’s documentary tells their stories, which are neither solely Albanian nor solely Greek—they are both.
In a world of identity conflicts, the director’s camera highlights multiple identities not as burdens of history but as compasses for a better future.

Athens Old & New - Group Show At FokiaNou Art Space
Hours: Thursday – Saturday, 17.00 -20.00
Opening: Thursday, 20 February, 18.00
From the current building boom to infrastructure “improvements”, the growth in mass tourism to less tangible shifts in the local culture, the changes create the circumstances for reflection on how the city once was. The exhibition captures this particular moment in time, contributing to a creative dialogue and prompting the public to reflect on their relationship with the city and its constant transformation.

Carnival At The SNFCC
Blending the psychedelic sounds of the Amazon with Latin swing and jazz, Los Petralonicos take audiences on a musical journey full of energy and nostalgia. Their signature mix of Cumbia Psicodélica and Chicha Peruana invites the crowd to become part of the performance, turning every show into a lively, immersive experience.
A true musical explorer, DJ Palov transforms each set into a rhythmic adventure. Fusing Latin, cumbia, afro, jazz, funk, hip hop, reggae, and dub, he unearths global sounds that make every performance unique. Whether spinning at major European festivals alongside artists like Quantic and Bonobo or digging through rare vinyl collections, he’s always pushing the boundaries of music.
Pure carnival energy! Since 2014, Bloco Swingueira has been bringing the beats of Brazil to Athens with their infectious samba afro and samba reggae rhythms. A staple of SNFCC’s Carnival celebrations, their high-energy performances and workshops create an atmosphere of pure joy.
