Greek finalist in The Lantern and Light Children’s International Film Festival

·

A Greek documentary short film has been officially selected as a finalist in the Animation Category at The Lantern and Light Children’s International Film Festival being held this weekend at Cameo Cinemas in Melbourne, Victoria.

The festival celebrates young film makers aged 6 – 25 years old from around the world.

The Greek short film, titled Elizabethan Theatre, was created with the Stop Motion Animation technique by the 5th grade students of E1 of the 6th Intercultural Primary School of Eleftherio – Kordelio in Thessaloniki, Greece. Students of the 6th grade also aided filming, while students of the 3rd, 5th and 6th grades contributed to the construction of the sets used. Chrysoula Nikolopoulou is the 5th grade teacher and school contact person for the students’ film.

Elizabethan Theatre narrates the basic historical and social elements of the Elizabethan era, regarding the development of the theatre of the same name in England. The time period it focuses on starts from 1562 until 1642, when the English Parliament banned all plays and sealed all theatrical stages for the following 18 years.

Greeks in Melbourne are being encouraged to attend the film screening on Saturday, September 14 at Cameo Cinemas from 1pm, as the school kids from Thessaloniki can’t be there and they would love to know the local diaspora are supporting them.

Tickets to the Lantern and Light International Childrens Film Festival screenings at the Cameo Cinemas can be purchased online here. Elizabethan Theatre is showing at 1pm as part of the Baba Desi Animation Awards.
