Constantly pursuing the dialogue between art and political endeavour, m\u03adta<\/a>,  the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation proceeds with a series of films regularly screened in the multi-space facility of Mikrokosmos<\/strong>, literally bringing in the centre of our attention a genre connected per se to this pursuit: cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free entry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the kind contribution of Greek and foreign creators, who, quite often, work in stifling conditions, m\u03adta proposes to a wider public significant, recent film productions, which visualise but also critically problematise various aspects of the multi-faceted crisis surrounding us, as well as pinpoint emancipatory alternatives. For, quite often, optical language proves to be much more eloquent than numerous written pages, in the depiction of societal reality \u2013 at times, riveting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film that will represent us at the Oscars, “Magnetic Fields” by Giorgos Goussis,<\/strong> will be shown by m\u03adta<\/strong>,\u00a0 in a special screening at Mikrokosmos cinema<\/strong>, on November 2nd<\/sup>, 2022<\/strong>. Arrival time 19:30<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this beautiful and tender road movie, Elena drives alone to an unknown destination, when she unexpectedly embarks on the ferry to Kefalonia. There, she will share her thoughts and life burdens with Antonis, a man she meets by chance. The two of them begin wandering around the island, looking for a nice place to bury a metal box that Antonis carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
