Anyone know where to find schedules for live Greek film screenings?

Check out the Film Center (Kino-Kentro). They are usually the best source for retrospectives and special showings.

I found that the National Cinema Museum (Ethniko Kinematiko Mousio) often hosts events, but their schedule can be hard to track down. You might need to check their specific event pages rather than just the main site.

Have you looked into the festival circuit? Sometimes, even outside of major festivals, smaller cultural centers will advertise pop-up screenings. Keep an eye on local event listings like Eventbrite or local Athenian culture blogs.

Short. Try the Athens Info Desk.

I had a great experience last year going to a screening at Odeon. They curated a fantastic retrospective of Yiannis Ememiakos's work. It was intimate, and the screening was accompanied by a Q&A session with a film scholar, which really enriched the experience. I think you should definitely check their calendar for any upcoming film series. They tend to focus on both modern and classic pieces, making it a solid bet for what you are looking for.

Honestly, the best way is to follow local film critics on Instagram. They are usually the first to know about smaller, independent screenings that don't get listed on major tourist sites. It's a more grassroots approach, but very effective.

Medium length response: I recommend checking the website for the Technopolis cultural center in Karakoli. They are very eclectic and frequently host film screenings, not just Greek ones, but they have dedicated Greek film nights. It's a good starting point for your research.

Long length response: My advice is to approach this like a treasure hunt, because there isn't one single, centralized website that aggregates all these niche cultural events. I found that contacting a few specific cultural foundations directly, like those associated with the Greek Ministry of Culture, can yield printed schedules or mailing lists. Also, look into university film departments; sometimes they host academic screenings that are open to the public. I remember seeing a screening of early Greek comedies organized by students at the Aristotle University. It required digging deep into local academic listings, but it was worth the effort. Good luck with your planning!

Just check the Athens International Film Festival website for past years' schedules. It might give you a pattern of what types of films are shown.
