GREEK DOCUMENTARIES: Greek Panorama

Greece 2006 13 Beta Digital Color
This short documentary explores in a humorous way the importance of the kafeneio, the traditional café, for the Greek community. In the center of Athens, in the neighborhood of Exarchia, the café regulars describe their feelings about this social space and the changes that take place over time in the cafe. They discuss these matters among themselves via the camera. For them, the kafeneio is a university, a forum, the place to heal one’s soul, a second home.
