Park Your Cinema Kids: Βίρα τις Άγκυρες (2017)

On an August night the lawn at the Clearing in Stavros Niarchos Park fills with families staking out patches of grass, and once it is dark a film starts under open sky. This screening is Anchors Up — Vira tis Agkyres, the 2017 animated adventure — dubbed in Greek for Park Your Cinema Kids, the SNFCC's open-air children's cinema that returns to the Clearing every summer.

Curated with the Athens International Children's and Youth Film Festival, the series runs through the warm months, and this date sits in the middle of the August holidays. Unlike a sealed multiplex, the experience is loose: bring a blanket, arrive before sunset, and expect kids drifting between the screen and the dark park behind it.

If you want assigned seats and air conditioning, this is the opposite. But if you want a children's film the old way — outdoors, on a warm night, with no ticket required — that is what this is.

Dubbed in Greek, and it costs nothing to attend.
