To mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nikos Koundouros, Rialto Theatre, in collaboration with the Department of Fine Arts of TEPAK and the Limassol Cinema Club, present a three-day tribute to the life and work of the renowned Greek filmmaker. The tribute includes a visual arts exhibition, talks and film screenings, highlighting his significant artistic legacy.
In 1954, Magic City premiered at the Venice International Film Festival under its original English title, Magic City.
Set in Dourgouti, a working-class neighbourhood of Athens, the film follows Kosmas (Giorgos Fountas), a young truck driver who dreams of escaping poverty and changing his life. When an underworld gang offers him an opportunity to fulfil his ambitions, he becomes entangled in an illegal deal with a con artist (Stefanos Stratigos). With the help of his neighbours, he struggles to overcome the difficulties and win the heart of his beloved Maria (Margarita Papageorgiou).
Magic City is Nikos Koundouros' first feature film, completed when he was just 28 years old, marking the beginning of an important cinematic career. Through its realistic portrayal of working-class life in post-war Athens, the film stands as a distinctive work of Greek cinema.
