About the event
Welcome to Helene's Garden Cinema!
My name is Helene, and I am excited to invite you to my special space in Nea Ionia, Athens where my family has lived for nearly a century. I am 72 years old but I feel 27 and I can't wait to experience an outdoor cinema night with you at my peaceful garden.
I chose a black and white film not because I don't like colors, but because I can't wait to see all your colorful faces in person. I chose a silent film not because I like the quiet, but because I am waiting to start the conversation when you arrive!

๐ฅ BLANCANIEVES
Travel back in time and experience the greatest silent film youโve never heard, in this modern twist of the classic tale. Blancanieves, or as we like to call her, Spainโs Snow White follows the classic fairy tale that is set in 1920s Seville and centered on a female bullfighter.
"Herr Berger's film is not a simple tribute to the Silent Era but is original and modern, a bold update of silent pictures. It is no mere pastiche."

About your host
Helene
Cinebur Host since 2021
ฮฮตฮนฮฑ ฯฮฑฯ! I am an energetic 72 year old woman, proud to be a grandmother to 4 beautiful grandchildren.
I am a journalist and I travel the world both for work and leisure - I'd tell you how many countries I've seen, but it'd be easier to tell you which ones I haven't!
I have a passion for politics, arts and literature, and I would be delighted to experience interesting stories on the screen with you, while sharing some of my own - I have two or three I could tell you!
๐ Hurry! Only limited spaces for each screening! ๐
