"The Last Note": Special screenings for the 200 of Kaisariani
A series of special screenings of the film "The Last Note" will take place to honor the memory of 200 fighters executed on May 1, 1944, in Kaisariani, Greece.
To commemorate the 200 fighters executed on May 1, 1944, in Kaisariani, Greece, filmmaker Pantelis Voulgaris, in collaboration with Black Orange and Tanweer, is organizing a series of special screenings of the film "The Last Note." These screenings will be held from February 26, 2026, for one week at the Trianon cinema, with a general admission price of 5 euros. All proceeds from the screenings will be utilized for the purchase and preservation of photographs of the 200 fighters from Labor Day 1944, contributing significantly to the maintenance of historical memory.
The film "The Last Note" is an important narrative that brings to light the experiences of those held in the Haidari concentration camp before the fateful May Day of 1944. It is co-written by Ioanna Karystiani, known for her acclaimed works such as "Little England" and "Brides." The plot centers on the life of Napoleon Soukatzidis, a 34-year-old Cretan of Minor Asian descent, who is depicted as a fighter in the peopleβs movement and has faced exile and imprisonment for his convictions. Through the dramatic storytelling of Voulgaris and the script of Karystiani, the film aims to honor the legacy of those who suffered and died during those historical events.
By organizing these screenings, the initiative not only aims to entertain but also to educate the audience about the significant historical events linked to labor movements and the sacrifices made by these 200 individuals. The initiative underscores the importance of remembering and telling the story of those who fought for freedom and justice, ensuring that their memory continues to resonate through generations.
