Three short films by one of Greece’s finest filmmakers. Constantine Giannaris has gone on to prove himself as a powerful director in features such as “From the Edge of the City” and “3 Steps to Heaven,” but before them came his short films.

Two Men Fighting Society And The Right To Love. Paris, 1968. After a failed attempt to gain national acceptance for gay rights Marc finds himself adrift, dealing with the joys and agonies of being gay at a time when homosexuals had no place in society.

When it was released in 1978, “Nighthawks” was billed as the first film from the United Kingdom to deal with gay life in a positive light. Viewed almost 30 years later it is a time capsule from a time that does not seem all that different from today.
