Theo Angelopoulos

The first ever Australian retrospective of Theo Angelopoulos (1935–2012), widely considered to be the greatest Greek filmmaker of all time, is now screening for free at GOMA Cinematheque.

Renowned for crafting an epic vision of modern Greece and the Balkans through allegories of its turbulent history, Theo’s films are celebrated for their haunting cinematography, and characters which inhabit worlds with a unique sense of time and space.

Angelopoulos’s career was marked by a number of trilogies, each drawing from different social, economic and cultural legacies, including Greek literature and mythology, Greece’s occupation and independence from Ottoman Turkey, a history of military dictatorship and the director’s own biography.
