The Greek Orthodox Community of St George and the Greek Club are pleased to announce the encore screening of on Friday 7 October 2022 at the Greek Club, as part of the Paniyiri 2022 Cultural Program.

is an amazing documentary by Sydney academic, Professor Mary Zournazi of the University of New South Wales. The film is a rare documentary that covers its subject, Rembetika music, so thoroughly, documenting its sound, history, locations and evolution, through interviews with performers, scholars and more. The documentary maker totally engages the audience by making this her personal journey to discover more of her mother's heritage which coexists with Rembetika history from Asia Minor now Turkey to Greece to Egypt to Lebanon and Australia.

Music has no borders as this touching film illustrates as peoples from throughout the Balkans and the Middle East claim this music as part of their rich cultural heritage. The theme song of Pulp Fiction has been inspired by this rich Rembetika working class music.

It is a film that reveals the core of Rembetika that only a Greek from Australia can see and document. A strong and beautiful film that will appeal to Hellenes and non-Hellenes alike.

Mary Zournazi will be available on the night for a Q&A and to meet all those who come to the screening.
