After its world premiere at CPH:DOX – Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, AGORΑ will have its national premiere and theatrical release in cinemas on January 15th 2015, during a pre-election period that finds Greek citizens amidst a social and economic crisis without a visible end.

The film will screen at the historical cinema theaters Aavora, Alkyonis and Studio in downtown Athens as well as the Olympion theater in Thessaloniki. The distribution will gradually expand to other Greek cities.

In four years of production and research, AGORΑ encloses the longtime observation of people from different social classes combined with key political events with severe consequences on the lives of Greeks. The film critically presents the viewpoints of important personalities of Greece’s political leadership and analysts from the international political and economic scene. An impressive mosaic that elucidates the last four years of the Greek crisis, AGORΑ is a cinematic antidote to oblivion, a film which urges us to reflect on Europe’s present and future. 

AGORΑ is an international co-production between Small Planet (Greece), Westdeutscher Rundfunk (Germany) and Al Jazeera Arabic (Qatar). The Greek theatrical release will be followed by a French festival premiere at FIPA (20-25 January 2015) and the film will start broadcasting by TV networks in Europe and Asia on February 2015.
