Movies cannot provide their usual sense of escape with the Covid-19 pandemic still going on, but maybe with the vaccine in sight, one film about a wild weekend romance on the beaches of Athens will help tide things over until summer hits. That’s what Argyris Papadimitropoulos offers audiences in his latest film, “Monday.”

The box-office hit helmed by Angelos Frantzis has snagged eight of the Hellenic Film Academy’s awards, but the ceremony itself has had to be postponed until a later date. After becoming one of the biggest box-office hits of recent years, attracting more than 650,000 viewers before the closure of national cinemas, Angelos Frantzis’ biopic drama Eftyhia has also scooped the Best Film Award and seven more gongs at the 11th edition of the Iris Awards, organised by the Hellenic Film Academy. Produced by Dionyssis Samiotis, the film narrates the life story of one of the most important Greek lyricists, Eftyhia Papagianopoulou, whose songs rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s and still remain popular, and who wasn’t widely known or recognised until her death in the early 1970s. The winners were announced online by the academy’s president, Yorgos Tsemberopoulos, as well as actors Elli Tringou and Christos Loulis,...
A middle-aged man’s agonising encounter with a young woman and her friends on a Greek island is full of dour humour
Middle-aged doctor Kostis (Makis Papadimitriou from Chevalier) hauls a lifetime of disappointment along with his suitcase when he arrives on the tiny Greek resort island of Antiparos. It’s the drab depths of the low season, and no amount of optimistic Christmas tinsel can garland the fact that this is a dead end, for career and life. This pre-title sequence has something of the dour humour of Aki Kaurismäki and provides a stark contrast to the main body of the film, set eight months later in August.
After Kostis tends to injured tourist Anna (Elli Tringou), he is granted temporary membership of her gilded circle of beautiful friends. She treats him like a cross between a pet and a beer dispenser; he doggedly manufactures a reality in which they will end up together.

We’ve all encountered men like Kostis, you see them sometimes lurking in the background at clubs, sitting at the bar in a pub making smalltalk to anyone who dares stand next to them. Lonely, troubled individuals, despondent and dispirited, longing to be a part of something. Often so concerned with avoiding eye contact, we resist trying to understand them, what’s led them down this destructive path. But it’s here Argyris Papadimitropoulos’ drama Suntan thrives, getting into the protagonist’s head in this intimate character study that centres on the notion of unhealthy infatuation.
Makis Papadimitriou plays Kostis, who moves to a small island, populated by around 800, to become the new local doctor. The mayor boasts the quiet winter months will help to clear his mind, but tedium kicks in. But then the summer arrives, and the island turns into a holiday destination for young...

A superbly directed, quietly devastating film about an EasyJet Gustav von Aschenbach who embarrasses himself by falling in love with a younger beauty
Argyris Papadimitropoulos is a Greek film-maker whose work I didn’t know before seeing this unbearably sad story of sexual obsession. His style stands a little outside the black-comic absurdism of contemporaries such as Yorgos Lanthimos and Athina Rachel Tsangari, but he deserves to be as well known as them.
Suntan is tremendously acted, fiercely and instantly absorbing, a tragicomic tale of male midlife breakdown, featuring someone who could possibly be described as an EasyJet Gustav von Aschenbach. Makis Papadimitriou (who was in Tsangari’s film Chevalier) is excellent as Kostis, a plump, bald, middle-aged doctor who, after an unspecified history of personal disappointment, takes up a job as local practitioner on a Greek island whose economy depends on the summer months, when it becomes party central for beautiful twentysomethings.

Ten Screen critics select their hidden film gems of the year.Fionnuala Halligan, chief film critic
A Date For Mad Mary
Dir Darren Thornton
This big-hearted Irish romcom, which shared the top prize at Galway this summer, has all the smarts to hit with younger audiences should it get the chance. Just released from prison, surly, boozy Mary pines for her bridezilla Bff who has moved on. Now she needs a date for the wedding and rarely has someone looked for love with less interest. Thornton directs a scuzzily radiant Seana Kerslake as the miserably mad Mary, wildly unpredictable and widely misunderstood, in a film that feels like the love child of Weekend and Once.

Hedi won best film, while Matt Johnson won best director for Operation Avalanche.
The Tunisian-French-Belgian co-production Hedi by Mohamed Ben Attia has won the best film award, the Golden Athena, at the 22nd Athens International Film Festival (September 22-October 2).
The film was co-produced by Tanit Films, Nomadis Images and the Dardenne brothers production outlet Les Films du Fleuve.
Majd Mastoura stars in the lead role as a young man who tries to break loose from his dominant mother and some of Tunisia’s more conservative social norms.
The film debuted at Berlin Film Festival 2016, winning the best first film award and a best actor prize for Mastoura.
The Aiff awards were decided by a five-member international jury presided over by the BFI programmes curator Nicola Gallani. The jury included German film critic Julia Teichmann (Film Dienst), French producer Sylvia Perel and her compatriot film critic Bernard Nave (Jeune Cinema).

Logline: When Maria, a young pregnant woman is fired, she goes on a birth strike. A short film about a dream set in Athens, Greece.
Elevator Pitch:
Maria works at a nail salon. She’s working off the books, without insurance or benefits. She’s also 9 months pregnant. One day, she’s fired. The same night, she has an unsettling dream. She wakes up certain: she won’t go into labor until she gets her job back. And so, Maria’s “birth strike” begins. The initial idea came from my dream. I saw that I was pregnant, I didn’t want to give birth, but it was time. It made me wonder: “What if someone could or thought they could control it?”
Production Team:
Cast: Maria: Elli Tringou
Director: Nikoleta Leousi
Writer: Nikoleta Leousi and Vangelis Serfas
Art Director: Loukia Chouliara
Cinematographer: Nikos Karanikolas
The previous film I directed, “Generator,” has screened at a number of festivals and was presented on Short of the Week.
About the Film:
I’m sure it’s a well-known fact that Greece ranks very low on protecting worker’s rights, collective agreements and job and income security. Female workers in particular are often exposed to unfair labor practices and a violation of the maternity leave and birth benefits. But behind all this, there is a story about believing and trying. That doesn’t mean that you will succeed, but all you can do is try. I want to portray a character that asks the question, “In today’s world, is it worth it to go ‘voluntarily insane’ for an idea? Or is it dangerous?”
Current Status: We’re in fundraising and pre production.
