Forty-two years later, Alexandros Voulgaris (working under his musician-director alias The Boy) rebuilds it indoors on the Μικρή Σκηνή at Onassis Stegi.

For this curation he steps out of the director's chair into the projectionist's, threading his own short *Night Fall in the Ti-Tree* through the program as a recurring marker between features.\n\nThe room draws cinephiles who track second-wave national cinemas — the people who know Peter Weir before *Witness* and Bruce Beresford before *Driving Miss Daisy*.

Twenty-one titles across three days means programming density rather than gala-screening pacing: you don't drop in for one film, you settle into a session.
