Cretan Night at the Movies

History is not always epic. People's precious microhistories of everyday life lead up to what we call major events. Who were these flammable souls during the Second World War who left their mark, while resisting the enemy, in their homeland? Who was Captain Satanas and how much burning desire for freedom was inside him to go against demons?

The documentary "Krousonas: On Satan's Trail" tells the story of the World War II Cretan guerrilla resistance leader named Antonios Grigorakis, who hailed from the mountainous village of Kroussonas, located in the eastern side of Psiloriti Mountain in the region of Heraklion, Crete. The film offers a multi-layered cinematic portrait of Antonios Grigorakis, who was nicknamed “Satanas”, and his resistance group, and sheds light on the turbulent era he lived through.

Film will be in Greek with English subtitles.

Street parking (with fee) available on the Embarcadero near the theater.
