Summer Cinema: Electra
The only outdoor cinema with Greek BBQ lamb.
Overview
One of the most significant films in the history of Greek Cinema will be screened under the stars in the inaugural 2014 MPavilion, now located in the courtyard of Melbourne's Hellenic Museum. Released in 1962 to widespread acclaim — including a win for Best Cinematic Transposition at the Cannes Film Festival and an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film — Michael Cacoyannis' Electra brings the Euripidean tragedy to the silver screen.
Part of the Hellenic Museum's ongoing summer cinema series, featuring a different iconic picture every week, the event will also feature mouthwatering Greek-style BBQ lamb, ancient grain salads, a Greek coffee version of the classic movie choc top, plus a wide selection of Hellenic beverages. Food and drink starts at 7pm, giving you plenty of time to fill your stomach before the movie begins at sundown.
