As part of the repertoire of the Greek Film Society of Brisbane, a movie I Like Hearts Like Mine – Markos Vamvakaris (2000, 68′) will be screened on 24 June.
Directed by Giorgos Zervas, the movie is a portrait of Markos Vamvakaris (1905-1972), one of the greatest creators of Greek rebetiko song.
With rare footage, audio, sound tracks and interviews with family and musician friends, the director provides insight into the musician’s personal life and the milieu in which he lived and created.
The documentary captures the rebetiko way of life epitomised in Vamvakaris whose music expresses its harshness and tenderness.
The screening will be followed by a special rebetika concert with live bouzoukia.
When: Tuesday 24 June at 7.45 pm
Where: The Greek Club, 29 Edmondstone St, South Brisbane
