Opening night tickets to ‘Kapetan Mihalis’ now on sale for Greek Film Festival

·

The Greek Film Festival, which marks its 30th anniversary and will play from 14–26 October, kicks off with the powerful historical drama Kapetan Mihalis.

Directed by Kostas Haralambous, the feature is set in late 19th century Crete and is based on the best-selling novel by literary giant Nikos Kazantzakis.

Premiering on Tuesday, October 14, at the Festival’s Gala Opening at Melbourne’s famed Astor Theatre, the film will also feature at special event screenings at Palace Balwyn Cinema, Palace Cinema Como, and Palace Pentridge Cinema.

Set in 1889 Crete during the revolution against the Ottomans, Kapetan Mihalis tells the story of a Cretan patriot torn between his duty to liberate his homeland and a forbidden love. With sweeping themes of freedom, passion, and identity, this epic production brings to life the iconic hero of Kazantzakis’ masterpiece – a fierce warrior sworn to wear black until his island is free.

“I don’t weigh, I don’t measure, I don’t compromise. I follow the deep beating of my heart”, wrote Kazantzakis – a spirit that pulses through every frame of this intense and moving film.

Featuring a stellar cast of renowned Greek actors, Kapetan Mihalis is an unforgettable opening to this landmark celebration of Greek cinema.

The celebration of this 30th anniversary continues throughout the festival, with more surprises, special guests, and exclusive events still to be revealed.

Don’t miss this epic night. Watch the film. Feel the revolution.
