‘ANZAC: The Greek Chapter’ to screen at Yarraville Festival

·

The Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee have announced a special screening of the documentary ANZAC: The Greek Chapter as part of the upcoming Yarraville Festival.

This poignant film, which sheds light on the ANZACs’ role in the Greek campaign of 1941, will be shown at the iconic Sun Theatre in Yarraville on Sunday, March 23, at 4pm.

ANZAC: The Greek Chapter offers a rare insight into this critical part of Australia’s ANZAC story, featuring interviews with the veterans who served in the Greek campaign.

The documentary draws from over 130 hours of interviews, making it an invaluable resource for those interested in this important chapter of history.

Funded by the Australian Government and supported by Melbourne’s Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee, the film was created by historian Dr Peter Ewer and filmmaker John Irwin assisted by Jim Claven OAM and Vicki Kyritsis on behalf of the Committee. 

The film was launched at the Greek Film Festival last year and is not to be missed by anyone wishing to learn more about the ANZACs’ involvement in Greece and the courageous local people who supported them.

The screening is supported by the Yarraville Festival and sponsored by Eleni’s Kitchen, Yarraville Grill, and The Yarraville Club.

Tickets are essential, and all interested attendees are encouraged to book in advance. Book your tickets here.
