Midnight Express is the brainchild of film critic Akis Kapranos, born from a deep nostalgia for the magical midnight screenings once held at historic cinemas like Alphaville and Cine Dexameni. His mission? To revive that shared passion for pure cinematic joy—so older generations can reminisce, younger ones can discover, and everyone can experience the thrill together.

This time, Midnight Express steps out of the theatre and into the open air. In the garden of the Athens Observatory, it screens Purple Rain—an iconic gem of 1980s pop culture.
