“The Promotion” could only have been made by a film director about a film director who is himself! It rolls along like a traditional film.

Mr. Andrikos wants to see where his son Nikos is livingContinue reading “The 4th Greek International Film Festival Tour (Canada): “The Promotion””

“Travels to a Different Time” : 13September2022: Mr. Handicapped in Nightmare Alley: Thessaloniki and Athens, Greece

For whatever reason one knee started flaring up in the middle of the night with intense pain and throbbing.
