Join us on February 13-15, 2025 at the Ahmanson Auditorium (UNH 1000) for a series of screenings of selected documentaries and short fiction films that explore the city of Elefsina (Eleusis) and its complex identity, bridging its ancient past with its evolving present. This cinematic journey includes multiple works produced throughout the artistic program of 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture (ECoC), The Mysteries of Transition and constitute part of its intangible legacy. This screening series brings together works that document, interpret, and reimagine Elefsina’s myths, landscapes, and contemporary social fabric. The audience is invited to engage with Elefsina not just as an ancient site, but as a living, breathing entity—one that continues to evolve and inspire.
