the Ithaca connection [23.11.2007]
On the Greek island of Ithaca there is an obelisk built by the Melbourne cinema proprietor, Stathis Raftopoulos (aka Stan Raft). In this clip, taken on his beloved Ithaca, Raftopoulos talks about his role in establishing one of Australia's most significant migrant cinema circuits, based in Melbourne.
The global circulation of non-Hollywood cinema is a topic I'm especially interested in. At the same time that waves of post-war Greek migrants arrived on Australia's shores, the Greek cinema also experienced its golden years. In Melbourne alone there were more than 35 venues screening Greek films from 1945-1975. Actually they screened a lot more than Greek films, catering for Greek preferences for Bollywood, Turkish, Hollywood and Asian cinema. But there are also notable differences from Greek cinemagoing in the way the screenings occured in Australia. For example Italian films, which were also pretty popular in Greece, didn't show at these Australian venues since there was a separate Italian cinema circuit specifically for Italian migrants and the commercial rivalry between the two circuits didn't permit any cross-over. Except perhaps where the statuary is concerned...
