SPECIAL SCREENING

EMBROS: A Free Self-Managed Theatre – by Alkistis Kafetzi

A documentary film that explores a self-organized, artistic community in the center of Athens. Decades before it became the Embros Theater in 1989, the building served as a printing office for the Embros newspaper. Today, the same building stands as a free self-organized theater, providing a free space for artistic expression and weekly open assemblies. The film aims to explore the importance of this unique space and the power of collective action. However, it also delves into the challenges and complexities that arise from acting outside the traditional structures of society.
