Don’t Miss This Cult Classic: CHEAP SMOKES

Step back into the streets of Athens for a special screening of the timeless Greek feature film, Cheap Smokes!

Join us for this atmospheric cult classic, a love letter to the city and the bittersweet charm of aimless youth, followed by a rare opportunity to meet the creative mind behind it.

Partnering with the Athenian Association of NSW we are thrilled to host director, writer, and actor Renos Haralambidis, visiting all the way from Greece, for a live Q&A immediately following the film’s screening at our new partner venue, Riverside Theatres. This is your chance to ask Renos about his influential work and the making of this iconic movie.

Your ticket for this special event includes the full experience:

6:00 PM: Doors Open for you to enjoy a complimentary glass of fine Lazaridi Greek Wine on arrival, curtesy of Ev-Enos Pty Ltd.

6:30 PM: Special Screening of Cheap Smokes starts.

Post-Screening: Live Q&A with Director Renos Haralambidis and Themis Kallos, executive producer Greek language program SBS Radio.
