Packed house for ‘ANZAC: The Greek Chapter’ screening at Yarraville Festival

·

The Yarraville Festival hosted a successful screening of ANZAC: The Greek Chapter documentary to a packed audience, followed by a lively post-screening Q&A session.

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

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. 

Attendees posed poignant questions after the screening, highlighting the impact of the veterans’ stories and the filmmakers’ work.

The event fostered new connections and provided an opportunity for the sale of Mr Claven’s books Grecian Adventure and Lemnos & Gallipoli Revealed.

Special thanks were extended to Con Frescos for advocating for the film’s inclusion in the festival, as well as to Eleni’s Kitchen + Barr, the Yarraville Club, and Yarraville Grill for their generous support.
