Impact on Society
In a period of crisis and economic difficulties, in the summer season with high temperatures when many of the citizens remained in the city, the possibility given by the Municipality of Kallithea to the citizens of free entertainment in an open and cool space, behind the park of Davaki, was admittedly innovative and enjoyable.
The audience participation exceeded our expectations, having filled the 200-seat space throughout the screenings. Days dedicated to screenwriters, such as the day of the official opening with Mr. Yiannis Smaragdis as a guest, the citizens who attended the event and the film exceeded 300. In addition to the citizens of Kallithea, citizens from other municipalities, neighboring as well as far, attended , such as Nea Smyrni, Moschato but also Piraeus, Aegaleo, Peristeri.
