Screening of G. Moutevelli’s documentary
The screening of George Moutevelis’ latest film “Saint Dimitrios and the Holy Water in Kserokrini, in the Kurusesme in Instanbul” will take place in the Evgenidio Institution, Athens, on Sunday the 18th of December, at 11:00 am. It will be the first screening for the Athenian audience. It is Moutevelis’ eighth film-documentary and fourth in the sequel “Pieces of Orthodoxy”. His film-documentaries belong to this same sequel, and have pilgrimage spaces as their focal point, such as a church or the Holy Water. By combining religious with historical elements, they attempt to recompose the mosaic of our culture with references to the history, folklore, legends and traditions of our country. The ancient, miraculous Holy Water of Saint Dimitrios in Kserokrini, in Kurusesme of Istanbul, is very well known among the believers, and Christian Orthodox as well as followers of different religions always visited there to to purge. The event is organised by the Brotherhood of the Big Stream the “Taksiarhis” with leading speaker the historian Kosta M. Stamatopoulo. The entrance to the Evgenidio Institution will be free. .
