[01] Cannes awarded 'Lobster' premieres in Athens on Oct 22
ANA/MPA---The film "Lobster" by Yorgos Lanthimos will make its official
premiere in Athens on October 22.
The first English-language film by Lanthimos, starring Colin Farrell
and Rachel Weisz, won the Jury Prize at the 68th Cannes Film Festival.
It is set in the future where single people are taken to The Hotel to find
a matching mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an
animal and sent off into The Woods. In that setting, one man escapes into
The Woods and falls in love with a woman, despite the rules of the Loners.
It is a Greek-Irish-British-Dutch-French production and it is written
by Yorgos Lanthimos and his regular co-writer Efthimis Filippou.
[02] Meeting on migration issue at the Shipping Ministry
ANA/MPA---Shipping and Island Policy Minister Thodoris Dritsas meets
with the chief of the Greek Coast Guard Athanassios Athanassopoulos to
discuss among others measures to face the increasing migration flows
to the eastern Aegean islands.
The representatives of the Coast Guard will also ask for further
assistance in services on a number of islands that receive large number
of migrants.
"The problem took greater dimensions after the construction of a 12.5
klm fence along Evros river at the Greek-Turkish borders," Greek Coast
Guard officials said to ANA-MPA.
