Cinema against War

by 

The Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People for children and young people is organising a week-long review of films about war as part of the trans-national protest against the probable war with Iraq. The review will run from 21-27 February in Athens and is aimed at educating young people and children about the horror and stupidity of war.
The programme includes landmark titles like Alain Resnais’ Hiroshima Mon Amour, Andrzej Wajda’s Kanal, Grigori Chukhrai’s Ballad of a Soldier, Kenju Mizoguchi’s Ugetsu Monogatari, an American anti-war documentary by Peter Davis entitled Hearts and Minds and, from Greece, What Did You Do In The War, Thanassi? by Dinos Katsouridis. The youngest viewers can see the specially selected Station Heaven by Czech director Karel Kachnya. Best of all, audiences can see three films for the cost of just one ticket.
