10 11 Park Your Cinema: Τhe French Connection

Before the popularity (or not) of the easily digestible French comedies flooding open-air summer cinema theatres in Greece in recent years, film buffs of earlier decades enjoyed (often in annually repeated screenings) some of French cinema’s classic masterpieces.

In a tribute to those times and to the French cinematic tradition, Park Your Cinema showcases some of the films that left their mark on French filmic language, signed by legendary directors, including Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Louis Malle and Jacques Tati. With the support of the Embassy of France in Greece and the Institut Français d'Athènes, August at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center speaks French through great stars, accompanied by Georges Delerue's timeless music themes.

This ‘French Connection’ is a great opportunity for a younger audience to discover the French master filmmakers on the big screen and for viewers who have enjoyed these works for several decades now to appreciate them once again. French cinema is part of our cultural heritage, and we will visit it again and again.

Visitors are advised to bring with them mosquito repellent and a mat, blanket, or other similar item for sitting on the ground.
