29th Greek Film Festival of Sydney to boast Australian premiere of ‘Murderess’

·

The 29th Greek Film Festival of Sydney is set to soar to new heights as it officially unveils its full program, with this year’s event featuring the Australian premiere of the award-winning feature film Murderess at a brand-new location in Moore Park.

The highly awarded and much anticipated dark film by Eva Nathena, Murderess, starring one of Greece’s most famous modern actresses in Karyofyllia Karabeti, will be premiered in Sydney on Saturday, October 19 at 8.30pm with a special pre-screening event hosted at Palace Cinemas Moore Park. 

Based on a famous novel by the Greek writer Alexandros Papadiamantis, the film will transport audiences to 1900’s rural Greece where a devastating patriarchal society brings women to a breaking point, with the protagonist turning into a murderess in her twisted quest to “release” young girls from their social fate.

Harry Danalis, President of the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW (GOCNSW), expressed the importance of expanding the Film Festival to new locations by offering “high quality Greek cinematography to Sydney cine-friends with more options than our standard home of Palace Norton Street.”

“Moore Park is an exciting new venue that we hope will become our second home for our Greek Film Festival in the future,” Mr Danalis said. 

Chair of the Greek Festival and Greek Film Festival of Sydney, Nia Karteris added, “we are beyond thrilled to have secured Karyofyllia Karabeti’s latest acting work as part of our 29th Greek Film Festival! Murderess by Eva Nathena makes us proud to present Greece’s filmmaking abilities to the rest of the world through our special premiering events in Sydney.”
