new york. Hellenic Film Society USA Presents "A Simple Man"

The Hellenic Film Society USA (HFS) will present A Simple Man on Sunday, February 20 at 4pm at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens.

The screening is part of the monthly Always on Sunday Greek film series which began in 2018.
 
A Simple Man, directed by Tassos Gerakinis and cowritten by Gerakinis and Christos Strepkos, is about a peaceful winemaker struggling to save his vineyard and his relationship with his headstrong daughter.

When a dangerous fugitive invades his home and takes him hostage, he goes beyond his limits to prevent his daughter’s involvement with the hostage taker.

The film is in Greek with English subtitles. A trailer for the film can be found on the Hellenic Film Society’s YouTube channel.
 
“Every now and then a film opens without fanfare and almost no publicity, yet it proves to be superior to most of the widely promoted films it is competing with for an audience. 
​
A Simple Man is that kind of film,” said Jimmy DeMetro, president, Hellenic Film Society USA. “This film is suspenseful, beautifully written, tautly directed, and expertly played.”
