Museum of the Moving Image to Host Theo Angelopoulos Retrospective in July
by Tyler Peterson
- Jun 24, 2016
Greece's most prominent film director of the post-1968 era, Theo Angelopoulos (1935–2012) was a master cinema stylist. His investigations into history and politics, tyranny and resistance, and spiritual anomie and emotional devastation place him on equal footing with filmmakers like Andrei Tarkovsky, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Wim Wenders. Today, at a time when Greece has struggled with impending economic collapse, and as the country's refugee crisis has worsened, with displaced populations fleeing war in the Middle East and massing on its borders, the themes of Angelopoulos's cinema are pressing once again. Museum of the Moving Image will present Eternity and History: The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos, a complete retrospective of the director's career—the first in the United States in 25 years—from July 8 through 24, 2016. The retrospective will also be presented at the Harvard Film Archive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from July 15 through August 22. The presentation of the retrospective at Museum of the Moving Image was made possible with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the Hellenic American Chamber of Commerce.

DreamWrights Center for Community Arts to Present Teen Musical LEGALLY BLONDE
by Jessica Fallon Gordon
- Jun 13, 2016
This summer, DreamWrights will be showcasing its teen musical, Legally Blonde, complete with a Greek chorus. But, this is definitely not a Greek chorus like anything Aristotle would recognize. This Greek chorus will be made up of three leading sorority girls: Margot, Serena, and Pilar, who will be on stage throughout the entire show, and only visible to the main character, Elle Woods. Director Nic Ecker explains, "Traditionally these characters appear on stage briefly throughout the musical. For this production, I'm going to change things up by having them interacting with the action on stage, with their sole purpose to help Elle become a lawyer. It's an interesting concept that, to my knowledge, hasn't been done in this way before. I am looking forward to these ancient Greek ideas coming to life in this very modern musical."
