The Hellenic American Union continues the series "Legendary Filmmakers – Iconic American Films" with a tribute to Martin Scorsese
Martin Scorsese is one of the most important directors in the history of American cinema, which he has served since the 1960s and continues to actively contribute to, as demonstrated by his recent success Killers of the Flower Moon. Born in New York City, he went through several stages of filmmaking before dedicating himself to directing, producing some of the most significant films of the 1970s (Taxi Driver), the 1980s (Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ), and the 2000s (The Departed and The Irishman). Scorsese’s name is largely associated with underworld films featuring Italian-American mafia gangsters, a world he experienced firsthand growing up on the tough streets of New York.
The event will feature screenings of scenes from Scorsese’s films, followed by a discussion about the director and his work with the audience.
The discussion will feature film journalists and critics Giannis Zouboulakis and Konstantinos Kaimakis, and will be moderated by journalist and author Makis Provatas.
