The 30th Greek Festival of Sydney, Canterbury City Council and Bank of Cyprus Australia organized event “Moonlight Cinema” to take place on Friday, March 9, has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions until further notice.
The organizors have apologized for the inconvenience and will launch an invitation with a new set date for the outdoors cinema event.
The screening of the entertaining and comical First Time Godfather is an open invitation to all those interested in getting in touch with the Greek cinema culture and the exciting experience of watching a film under the stars.
This hilarious tale dives into Greek culture with the same abundant humour as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but with a realistic edge due to its basis on an autobiographical short story by Nikos Papandreou, son of a former Greek prime minister.
Raised in America, 11 year-old Alex travels to Crete to step in for his politician father at a local christening. His foreign looks, his difficulty with the Greek language, the Cretan’s particularities and the tests he’s forced to endure to be accepted as the worthy son of the leader culminate in a comedy with political wrangling, existential distresses and tragicomic situations. Alex’s first initiation in the art and tricks of politics will mark him for the rest of his life.
The film is Rated G and is suitable for children. Gates open at 5:30pm and the film starts at 7pm or at sunset. Bring your own picnic blankets, bean bag lounges and chairs.
Food and beverage is available. Parking is available at Gough Whitlam Park and along Bayview Ave, Undercliffe. For more information visit www.canterbury.nsw.gov.au or www.greekfestivalofsydney.com.au.
