Symi Festival events
A couple of posters for you today, in case you’re heading this way soon or reading this here. Well, not here-here in my office, but somewhere close by.
The Symi International Film Festival runs within and as part of the Symi Festival, and this is its second year. It begins on the 17th September and runs for the week showing films selected from 150 submitted. It looks like at least 35 are being screened, some shorts, some features, plus a couple of others at an event in the cultural centre, which is detailed on the other poster.
The films at the Film Festival will be shown at the open-air cinema at the sports centre in Horio. If you’re not sure where this is… Take the bus from Yialos or Pedi to the bus stop at Campos in Horio, and then walk a little way along the road as if you were heading out of the village and up the hill. It’s the big red building on your left. Go down the slope and around to the left, you’ll see it when you get there. It’s outside, and there are facilities.
And the other event started yesterday in the cultural centre in Yialos. This is an art exhibition which is open until 9th September. Within that, two films are being screened, one on 30th August and the other on 6th September, both starting at 20.00. The details are on the posters here which should enlarge if you click them.
If you’re not sure where the cultural centre is, it’s in the lane that runs around from Bella Napoli to the right and is on the left along that street. The big double doors will be open anyway, so you can’t miss it.
