SUMMARY:Midnight Screenings with Midnight Express
DESCRIPTION:Back with another installment of midnight screenings\, the concept of film aficionado Akis Kapranos returns\, featuring three films\, three unique worlds\, and an unforgettable cinematic experience beneath the city stars.\n\n 	The Love Bug\, Robert Stevenson\, 1968 (108′)\n\nThe lovable Herbie\, the “Beetle with a soul\,” brings laughter and action in this classic Disney comedy. A race car driver in a career crisis and a car with personality prove that friendship and dedication win every race. A light-hearted\, feel-good film that continues to captivate both young and old.\n\n 	Christine\, John Carpent\, 1983 (110′)\n\nFrom Stephen King’s imagination and directed by John Carpenter comes one of the most iconic thrillers of the ’80s. A seemingly innocent red Plymouth Fury develops a life of its own\, dragging its young owner into a dark obsession. A cult classic that explores the darker side of passion\, uniquely capturing the atmosphere of the ’80s and still beloved by horror movie fans today.\n\n 	Blade Runner\, Ridley Scott\, 1982 (117′)\n\nMore than just a science fiction film\, Ridley Scott’s iconic futuristic noir transports us to the dark\, rainy Los Angeles of 2019. “Blade runners” hunt down replicants\, genetically engineered humans\, in a story that goes beyond police procedural to explore deep existential questions about identity and humanity. A masterpiece that defined the genre.

SUMMARY:Fantastic Party @ Varvakios
DESCRIPTION:The grand comeback of Varvakios Market arrives with a disruptive transformation. The This is Athens City Festival 2026 invites us into a setting reminiscent of Blade Runner.\n\nStarting at 18:00\, Stefanos Konstantinidis’ FONOPTIKON project lands in Athens’ central market\, presenting a live audiovisual experience where beats and visuals electrify the venue’s traditional aura.\n\nIn a thrilling artistic encounter\, the iconic voice of Best 92.6\, Maria Papidaki\, comes “face to face” with FONOPTIKON\, composing a soundscape that blurs the lines between reality and science fiction. Varvakios is reimagined as a hybrid of an underground club and sci-fi cinema\, featuring free entry and a futuristic vibe.

SUMMARY:Music & Film
DESCRIPTION:Experience the magic of silent film paired with live music in the grand interior courtyard of the Arsakeio Mansion\, an architectural “jewel” in the heart of Athens. The spotlight of the evening falls on “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans” (1927)\, directed by the legendary F.W. Murnau.\n\nOften cited as one of the greatest films in cinematic history\, Sunrise tells the haunting story of a farmer lured by a mysterious woman into a dark plot against his own wife. What follows is a painfully lyrical journey of reconciliation set against a bustling urban backdrop\, an eternal struggle between the shadows and the light of the human soul.\n\nBringing the images to life is the distinguished soloist Manos Kitsikopoulos. His live piano improvisations do more than just accompany the film; they “translate” every frame into raw emotion\, creating an immersive experience beneath the mansion’s iconic glass roof.
