  • Crete Restaurant Guide
    MEETand EAT inCRETE FINE DINING GUIDE 2008 SUMMER FREE from LETTER the EDITOR THERE'S MORE TO CRETAN CUISINE THAN LUKE-WARM MOUSSAKA… I've long held the belief that quite often food is the point of entry into the core of a country's culture, and for many, a country's cuisine is the primary reason for visiting a destination. Eating what and where the locals eat is a great way to scratch below the surface of a country, to understand its history and to become a part of its community. A summertime visit to a Greek Island offers many opportunities unique to this time of year. This is when home-grown produce is at its peak-bursting with color and flavor. And you will find no better location to indulge in this foodfest than Crete. Always celebrated as a tourist destination for beaches and antiquities, the Island, a treasure trove of wild foods and deeply rooted cooking traditions, is becoming a foodie hotspot, which could rival many of the European capitals in the gourmet game. But finding a great meal here on the Mediterranean's 5th largest island is not an easy task, which is why Meet and Eat in Crete was created-to help you go out of the way and off the tourist track. New to the Guide this summer is a selection of some of our top chosen tavernas in and around the island. As an antidote to the ubiquitous beach scene, try one of our agrotourism tavernas in a breathtaking mountain village, such as Prinos in Ano Asites.

  • Greek Orthodox Easter in Sparta Greece
    ORTHODOX EASTER Greek Orthodox Easter in Sparta Greece Greek Orthodox Easter. The Easter is the most important holiday in the Greek Orthodox Church. Compared to Western Easter, Orthodox Easter is in no way commercialized by chocolate, Easter bunnies or pastel colors. Rather, it is a festivity deeply rooted in tradition filled with church, lamb and red dyed eggs. Therefore, Easter is the most sacred observance in the Greek Orthodox faith. Preparations and customs remain some of the most traditional in modern Greek life. Sample traditional Easter menu. The first meal of the day is eaten after the midnight church service of the Resurrection, to break the 40-day fast that has led up to this most joyous of celebrations. After a too-brief night's sleep, the day beings in earnest! Traditional foods of the day are lamb or kid, red eggs, and Tsoureki Paschalino sweet Easter dessert bread. Here on the Greek island of Crete, kalitsounia (sweet cheese pastries) are an Easter tradition. Other dishes can vary widely. The Easter meal itself can range from a small family event to an elaborate feast that goes on all day and into the night. Lamb and Kid For casserole recipes, increase quantities per recipe instructions. For oven and grilled roasts, which lose a lot of volume during cooking, figure raw weight: bone in: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds per person boneless: 1 pound per person Preparations for Easter come to a climax toward the end of Holy Week, between Palm Sunday and Easter. While there are many local customs associated with Easter, there are several observed by all.

  • The Films of Theo Angelopoulos: a Voyage in Time
    The Films of Theo Angelopoulos: A Voyage in Time Evangelos Makrygiannakis Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2008 Abstract This thesis provides a critical enquiry into the films of Theo Angelopoulos. Dividing his films into two periods—the one running through the seventies and the other starting with the advent of the eighties—I will examine the representation of history in the first period of Angelopoulos and the metaphor of the journey in his subsequent films. Furthermore, I will trace the development of an aesthetic based on long takes which evokes a particular sense of time in his films. This aesthetic, which is based on the internal rhythm of the shot, inscribes a temporality where past, present, and future coexist in a contemporaneous image. Being free from the requirements of an evolving plot, this image is an autonomous image which allows the passing of time to be felt. Autonomy, which I will define after philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis as an immanent movement towards change, can be also used to describe the process of changing oneself or a given society from within. In exploring the resonances autonomy has, I will make a connection between the social and the cinematic; an attempt which is informed by what Angelopoulos’ films do of their own accord. In this way, I will suggest that Angelopoulos is important not only for the history of film but also for one’s modus vivendi. iii iv Acknowledgements I would like to deeply thank my supervisors, the late Professor Dietrich Scheunemann, Professor Martine Beugnet and Professor John Orr, for all their precious feedback and support throughout the years.

  • A Retrospective of Greek Film April 23 - June 14, 1993
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release March 1993 CineMythology: A Retrospective of Greek Film April 23 - June 14, 1993 The first film exhibition to provide an overview of the history of Greek cinema is presented at The Museum of Modern Art from April 23 to June 14, 1993. CineMythology: A Retrospective of Greek Film, composed of forty-five films, reveals a cinema with a strong sense of social awareness. Thematically, it draws on distinctly Greek sources, including mythology and classical drama; questions of national identity, displacement and immigration; and the transformation of an agrarian society into a modern industrial one. During the opening weekend of the exhibition, Melina Mercouri and Irene Papas introduce films in which they star. On Friday, April 23, at 6:00 p.m., Ms. Mercouri and director Michalis Cacoyannis introduce Stella (1955). On Saturday, April 24, at 5:00 p.m., Ms. Papas and Mr. Cacoyannis introduce Electra (1962). On Sunday, April 25, at 2:00 p.m., Ms. Mercouri introduces Never on Sunday (1960). Other programs feature appearances by directors Costas Ferris, Nikos Koundouros, Nicos Papatakis, Pantelis Voulgaris, and Costas Vrettakos. While Greek cinema is clearly a part of a European tradition, it possesses a distinct style with periods of excellence often interrupted by turbulent political events. The early developments of Greek cinema, late in comparison to Europe and the United States, exhibit unique qualities. Social Decay (1931, Stelios Tatasopoulos) is informed by a distinct political and social awareness, and Daphnis and Chloe (1931, Oresits Laskos) is closely tied - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y.

  • Eternity and History: the Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos,’ the First Complete U.S
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘ETERNITY AND HISTORY: THE CINEMA OF THEO ANGELOPOULOS,’ THE FIRST COMPLETE U.S. RETROSPECTIVE IN 25 YEARS Film series focusing on the director of Landscape in the Mist, The Traveling Players, and Eternity and a Day July 8–24, 2016 at Museum of the Moving Image Astoria, Queens, NY, June 23, 2016—Greece’s most prominent film director of the post-1968 era, Theo Angelopoulos (1935–2012) was a master cinema stylist. His investigations into history and politics, tyranny and resistance, and spiritual anomie and emotional devastation place him on equal footing with filmmakers like Andrei Tarkovsky, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Wim Wenders. Today, at a time when Greece has struggled with impending economic collapse, and as the country’s refugee crisis has worsened, with displaced populations fleeing war in the Middle East and massing on its borders, the themes of Angelopoulos’s cinema are pressing once again. Museum of the Moving Image will present Eternity and History: The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos, a complete retrospective of the director’s career—the first in the United States in 25 years—from July 8 through 24, 2016. The retrospective will also be presented at the Harvard Film Archive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from July 15 through August 22. The presentation of the retrospective at Museum of the Moving Image was made possible with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the Hellenic American Chamber of Commerce. “As a new generation of Greek filmmakers, including Yorgos Lanthimos and Athina Rachel Tsangari, have reached international prominence, the time is ripe to see Angelopoulos anew, as cinema that reflects on the past while foretelling the turbulent world we are now living in,” said Chief Curator David Schwartz.

ISSN (Online) 2620-0635 ▪ https://doi.org/10.32591/coas.ojsa.0301.01001k _________________________________________________________________________ Tracking the Creative Process of Mikis Theodorakis’ Electra: An Approach to Philosophical, Esthetical and Musical Sources of his Opera Angeliki Kordellou University of Patras, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Patras, GREECE Department of Theatrical Studies Received: 19 March 2020 ▪ Accepted: 17 May 2020 ▪ Published Online: 28 May 2020 Abstract Taking into consideration Mikis Theodorakis’ autobiography, personal notes, drafts and sketches, several scientific studies about his musical work and by means of an analytical approach of his score for Electra, it seems that tracking its creative process demands a holistic approach including various musical and extra musical parameters. For this reason the aim of this paper is to present an overview of these parameters such as: (a) aspects of the Pythagorean theory of the Universal Harmony which influenced the artist’s worldview and musical creation; (b) the artistic impact of the ancient Greek tragedy and especially of the tragic Chorus on his musical activity; (c) his long term experience in stage music, and particularly music for ancient drama performances; (d) his music for M. Cacoyannis’ movie Electra; (e) the use of musical material deriving from previous compositions of Theodorakis; and (f) the reference to musical elements originating from the Greek musical tradition. Keywords: Electra, Mikis Theodorakis, lyrical tragedy, Greek contemporary music, Greek opera. 1. Introduction The tragic fate of Electra has been the source of artistic expression since antiquity.
