‘Ange & the Boss: Puskas in Australia’: Special screening at Greek Film Festival in Sydney

·

The 29th Greek Film Festival of Sydney, proudly presented by METAXA, have included the much-anticipated documentary Ange & the Boss: Puskas in Australia in their lineup for 2024.

Directed by Cam Fink, Tony Wilson and Rob Heath, the film is an in-depth introduction to Ferenc Puskás, THE player of the 50s, an icon of world football, star of Real Madrid and the Hungarian national team. How did a FIFA team of the century superstar become the coach of South Melbourne Hellas in the early 90s? The documentary will explore his bizarre recruitment to Australia (via the paddocks of Keysborough!), South Melbourne’s 1991 triumph, and his relationship with his captain, Ange Postecoglou, destined to become the first Australian to manage in the Premier League.

Ange and the Boss

Ange & the Boss: Puskas in Australia is more than a football story. It’s a story about immigration, multiculturalism, and the parallel universe that was Australia’s NSL, invisible to sports fans from an Anglo background, but vital to European Australians and their children.

The film documents the life of Greek migrants in Melbourne in the 80s and 90s (something that resonates deeply with all Greek migrants in Australia) – the struggles they faced, and how their cultural and sporting institutions helped them to make a contribution to multiculturalism, their communities and Australian society.

Ange and the Boss

Visit the Palace Norton St on Thursday, October 17 at 6:30pm for a special screening followed by a Q&A with Directors Cam Fink, Tony Wilson and South Team of the Century legend Paul Trimboli to be interviewed by Sydney-based football commentator Simon Hill and Themis Kallos Executive Producer (SBS) Australia, Greek Service.

With the Ange ascendancy, this is the moment for an amazing football story to be heard nationwide through a film that contributes to our great Australian football history.
