After the 50’ screening, Director of the Hellenic Centre Dr. Nayia Yiakoumaki will lead a tour of the exhibition Vlassis Caniaris: Selected Works 1960s – 1980s.
The film was produced in 2009 two years before the artist’s death. It covers his career from the early days, explores some of his key ideas and presents the artist’s exhibition Genethlion (Anniversary) at the Benaki Museum, Athens (2009). It is a rare encounter with the artist in conversation with Katerina Zacharopoulou, filmed at the artist's house in Athens surrounded by some members of his family and his most important works.
