Greek Film Night at UNB

The UNB Centre for  Hellenic Studies will be presenting the 1955 film "Stella" by the acknowledged Cypriot director Mihalis Kakogiannis, in collaboration with the Culture and Language Studies Department.
 A milestone in Greek cinematography, this drama is the story of a wild, independent woman who defies convention and follows her heart. Stella is a fearless, honest woman, a seductress working in a cheap post-war Greek nightclub, "Paradisos". She will find her equal in Miltos, a football player of Olympiakos, but their relationship will be tested by her refusal to be chained in any way. "Stella" is considered the Greek version of Carmen, and the star, Melina Merkouri, was awarded a Golden Globe for her portrayal.
The film's memorable music is by Manos Hadzikakis (1961 Oscar for his song Τα παιδιά του Πειραιά).
A short introduction will be made by Dr Sophie Lavoie.
All welcome.
