November events
Jazz Chronicles: The Jazz Chronicles continue their journey, bringing at the Agora and the Panoramic Steps some of the most enchanting female vocalists of Greek jazz.

Eva & the Apples (4/11), Swing Shoes ft. Sugaspank! (11/11), Sera Bellos Quintet (18/11) and Penny Baltatzi (25/11).
Music Escapades: Musical journeys through dreamy soundscapes and exotic fields. This November electronic influences and minimal aesthetics, multicolored sounds, vocal improvisations, digital loops, theremins, guitars, keyboards and synthesizers take over the Panoramic Steps of the SNFCC. Angelika Dusk (5/11), Σtella (19/11) & Daphne and the Fuzz (26/11).

Park Your Cinema: Emerging out of a historical period in which the American citizen was preoccupied with the consequences of the enormous financial collapse at the end of the ’20s (which for most countries lasted for a decade, if not right up to the Second World War!) the films which introduced terror for the masses, almost brought to life the genre as well. The studio of Universal was where it triumphed, initially in the thirties, bringing to the screen dark figures that also came to be viewed as symbols of morbid eroticism (Dracula) or anthropomorphic ‘monsters’ in which the audience perceived a similar pain (Frankenstein) allowing for identification to occur. Park Your Cinema invites you to get to know these masterful, incredibly atmospheric and occasionally, in some ways blasphemous films... out there. Thrills and chills go well together. Dracula (Nov.5, 19:30), Frankenstein (Nov.12, 19:30), The Mummy (Nov. 19, 19:30), The Invinsible Man (Nov. 26, 19:30)
