Hostage
One of the most talked about films in contemporary Greek cinema.

Constantine Giannaris' internationally renowned examination of the immigrant provoked extreme comment through its allusion to a real event that stunned Greek citizens in 1999 when an Albanian immigrant took a city bus hostage.

Honour and retribution interplay in this emotionally-charged discourse on modern immigration.

First screening introduced by the director.
