Fresh on the heels of its best-attended New York Greek Film Expo ever, the Hellenic Film Society (HFS) launches a new season of its highly successful Always on Sunday monthly Greek film series, presented one Sunday a month at the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) in Astoria, NY.
On Sunday, November 9 at 3pm HFS will present the drama, Meat, winner of the Society’s Audience Award at its film festival in October.
The film, directed by Dimitris Nakos, is about a young man pressured to the take the rap for a murder he didn’t commit. MEAT has also received numerous international awards including Best Actor (Kostas Nikouli) from the Hellenic Film Academy; Best Feature Film at the Berlin Greek Film Festival; and the Greek Critics Award at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival. The film, in Greek with English subtitles, is recommended for mature audiences.
“We are delighted to bring MEAT to the Museum of the Moving Image after it won the Audience Award at the Manhattan screening of our recent New York Greek Film Expo,” says Maria Miles, Hellenic Film Society president. “It’s a true suspense thriller unlike anything that has come out of Greece in recent years. Dimitris Nakos, the director, knows how to hold the audience’s attention and bring out the best performances from his actors. Until the very end, we are kept on the edge of our seats”.
The Museum of the Moving Image is located at 37-01 35th Avenue in Astoria, NY.
