This is a series of free film screenings, inspired by the unexplored landscape of Elefsina, under the light of cinema as an artistic intervention and a means of showcasing an area as well as an experience of a dialogue with a location.

It is the intention of the Athens Open Air Film Festival to transform Elefsina into a precious mysterious exhibit, through an unexpected dialogue between cinematic viewing and the natural setting where the event will be hosted as well as the transformation of a series of screenings into a site specific artistic event.

The aim is for the screenings to entice, both visitors to the area as well as the residents of Elefsina, to rediscover their city and its special characteristics with great fervour, by offering a magical experience of cinematic viewing in co-existence with the surrounding area which not only completes the experience but also adds additional dimensions and ambience to it.The event includes five screenings in five locations of exceptional aesthetic value in regards to the history and ever-changing landscape of Elefsina, offering a new opportunity to “study” five brilliant films.
