In Detail
Κινηματογραφικές προβολές | Δεν ταξίδεψα ποτέ στην Αυστραλία
The Skyline Matraville drive-in in suburban Sydney closed in 1984. Forty-two years later, Alexandros Voulgaris (working under his musician-director alias The Boy) rebuilds it indoors on the Μικρή Σκηνή at Onassis Stegi.

Park Your Cinema 2026: Sweeney Todd: Ο Φονικός Κουρέας της Οδού Φλιτ (2007)
Stephen Sondheim's 1979 musical about a barber who slits throats and a pie-shop owner who turns the bodies into the daily special plays SNFCC's lawn on Friday 3 July 2026. Tim Burton's 2007 film adaptation — Johnny Depp at the razor, Helena Bonham Carter at the oven, Alan Rickman as the corrupt judge who started it all — runs 116 minutes under the Athens summer sky, free of charge as part of Park Your Cinema's 2026 programme. The film took two Golden Globes the year of its release — Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy and Best Actor for Depp — with director and lead-actress nominations following.
Park Your Cinema Kids 2026: Ψάχνοντας τον Νέμο (2003)
23 years after Pixar mapped a clownfish's father-son odyssey across the Pacific, Finding Nemo (2003) returns to the lawn at ΚΠΙΣΝ on Saturday 4 July 2026 — the kids' entry in this year's Park Your Cinema slate. The 2026 Park Your Cinema Kids program takes its frame from the summer-island universe of Lilo & Stitch — friendship, family, and how the small finds its place in the very large. Finding Nemo fits inside that logic: one small fish, one Pacific, one father willing to cross it. Andrew Stanton's Pixar feature still holds its underwater color on a 20-metre outdoor screen, and the lawn — Renzo Piano's grass-on-roof landscape — is one of the rare Athens venues where the film plays at the scale it was made for.
Park Your Cinema Kids 2026: Ο Πειρατής Μαυροδόντης και το Μαγικό Διαμάντι (2019)
Captain Sabertooth and the Magic Diamond — Rasmus A. Sivertsen and Marit Moum Aune's 2019 Norwegian animated swashbuckler — screens open-air at ΚΠΙΣΝ (SNFCC) on Saturday 18 July 2026, mid-summer slot in the Park Your Cinema Kids 2026 series. Two young pirates search for a lost brother, a sunburnt vampire schemes to walk in daylight, and a shape-shifting queen commands an ape army; Captain Sabertooth chases the diamond with the children in tow.
Park Your Cinema 2026: Ένα Σχολείο Πολύ Ροκ (2003)
Renzo Piano's Megalo Prasino — the central park lawn at ΚΠΙΣΝ — slopes down to the Faliro canal. By 20:00 on a July evening the families have already claimed grass on the upper rise; by sunset just before 21:00, the outdoor screen at the bottom catches the last light off the water and Richard Linklater's School of Rock — Ένα Σχολείο Πολύ Ροκ in the SNFCC programme — starts across it on Sunday 19 July 2026. The 2003 film was Jack Black's first leading role and an early career marker for screenwriter Mike White, who also plays Ned, Black's substitute-teacher roommate.
Park Your Cinema 2026: Dreamgirls (2006)
In her film debut, Jennifer Hudson — fresh from a Season 3 American Idol run — delivers 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going' midway through Bill Condon's *Dreamgirls* and wins the 2007 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for it. The film plays under the open sky at SNFCC on Friday 24 July 2026, part of Park Your Cinema's 11th edition and the 2026 'Musicals under the stars' slate. Adapted from the 1981 Broadway musical, *Dreamgirls* tracks the rise of a 1960s Detroit girl group — the Dreamettes, later the Dreams — through the engine of a Motown-modelled label and the cost paid by the singer pushed to the back.
Park Your Cinema Kids: Ώρα για Σερφ (2007)
A documentary crew trails a small-town penguin chasing surf glory — that is the conceit of *Surf's Up*, the 2007 animated mockumentary screening on the Great Lawn of the SNFCC on 25 July 2026. Watched beside the actual sea, its faux-vintage footage of wipeouts and wave culture lands differently than it does on a living-room couch. *Surf's Up* earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature, the rare children's film built as a spoof of the sports documentary — handheld, talking-heads, mid-interview.
