After the postponement of the Greek Festival Moonlight Cinema due to bad weather conditions, the 30th Greek Festival of Sydney, Canterbury City Council and Bank of Cyprus Australia present the screening of the entertaining and comical First Time Godfather under the stars this Friday, March 30th .
This hilarious tale dives into Greek culture with the same abundant humour as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but with a realistic edge due to its basis on an autobiographical short story by Nikos Papandreou, son of a former Greek prime minister.
Raised in America, 11 year-old Alex travels to Crete to step in for his politician father at a local christening. His foreign looks, his difficulty with the Greek language, the Cretan’s particularities and the tests he’s forced to endure to be accepted as the worthy son of the leader culminate in a comedy with political wrangling, existential distresses and tragicomic situations. Alex’s first initiation into the art and tricks of politics will mark him for the rest of his life.
The film is Rated G and is suitable for children.
Gates Open at 5.30pm and movie starts at 7.00pm or at sunset. Bring your own picnic blankets, bean bag lounges and chairs. Food and beverages are available. Parking is available at Gough Whitlam Park and along Bayview Ave, Undercliffe.
