Oscar winning documentary "Mr Nobody Against Putin" at Olympion

The Festival’s theaters are welcoming May with the politically charged documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putinby David Borenstein and Pavel “Pasha” Talankin, which casts an insightful glance at the core of a propaganda mechanism that gets rolling right from the early stages of school, through the personal story of a dissident teacher.

Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film, BAFTA Award for Best Documentary Film, closing film of the 28th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival.

A dense and finely expressive work, Kokuho marks Sang-il Lee’s breakout success, a true box office phenomenon that broke a 22-year record to reach No.1 among Japanese live-action films in Japan, while drawing us into the world of traditional Kabuki theatre.

Both sharp and moving, Mario Martone’s Fuori is a film devoted to Goliarda Sapienza, one of the most important and radical voices in 20th-century Italian literature, with the luminous Valeria Golino in the leading role.

With a soft bittersweet tone, Francesco Sossai’s The Last One for the Road, which premiered in Greece at the 66th Thessaloniki International Film Festival, moves through the mist-covered landscapes of the Veneto, carrying traces of retro warmth, quiet melancholy, sharp humour, and a subtle, nostalgic charm.
