AMERIKA SQUARE (PLATEIA AMERIKIS) In a troubled Athens neighborhood, the lives of a hipster bar owner, a Syrian refugee and a xenophobic nationalist intersect. Widely acknowledge as the best European film on the subject of immigration.

APOCALYPSE AGAIN: ACCEPTING INHERITANCE This documentary covers life on the island of Patmos, from the social scene at local haunts to the spirituality of the Monastery of St. John the Theologian and the Holy Cave. But it is the visit to the monastery’s library and museum that opens a revelation on the very foundation of the modern world and its cracks. (Free screening)

BORDER SOULS (PSYCHES TON SYNORON) This documentary examines the refugee situation in Greece and focuses on a monk who rallies the support of nuns and local townspeople to help him feed the needy.
