Film directors of international fame have started a campaign to save two Greek
cinemas. The cinemas are in an area of Athens where many residents had already had
to leave their homes, which were then demolished in order to build hotels and offices.
The plans to close the cinemas were announced at a time when many expressed
concerns about the pace of development in the city.
The two cinemas are the oldest in Greece’s capital and many consider them historic
monuments. Costa-Gavras, the film director who became famous with the political
drama Z, was among those who spoke publicly about their cultural value.
