We’re delighted to join forces with the Thessaloniki International Film Festival once again this year. The Festival opens its doors to cinema lovers on Thursday 1 November 2018 and features three films from the UK.
Don’t miss Ray & Liz, a film by Richard Billingham to be screened as part of the Festival’s official International Competition programme, while Happy New Year, Colin Burstead by Ben Whitley is featured as part of the Open Horizons programme, and George Dunning’s legendary Yellow Submarine is presented in a single screening as part of the Special Screenings programme.

Yellow Submarine
Based on the Beatles’ hit song of the same title, Yellow Submarine takes place in the fantasy world of Pepperland, a psychedelic paradise that faces imminent doom at the hands of the villainous Blue Meanies. The desperate residents call upon the Beatles to save the day, and they do so to the tune of various songs, including When I’m Sixty-Four, Nowhere Man and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
