Cine Thission of Athens

Cine Thission is a poetic documentary about an old open air cinema in Athens which, despite being situated in the extremely touristy area of the Acropolis, defies modernity and remains strangely timeless. It is not nostalgia one feels here for the old days, nor admiration for the antiquities around, but a visceral sense of the energy that flows through time and connects our lives to the stories we watch, the past to the present, cinema to life.
