Spread the word




On Holy Monday, April 14th, at 9:00 PM, the Kalamata Creative Documentary Centre invites you to a journey through time with the screening of Tzina Petropoulou's documentary, "The Voices of the Shuttle... The Diary of a Gaggle." In a special context just before Easter, the film invites us to reflect on the shuttle fight, a deeply rooted but also controversial custom of our region, through the recording of its preparation and climax.

Screening of the documentary by Tina Petropoulou on Holy Monday, April 14th, at 9:00 PM at the Creative Documentary Centre of Kalamata
The documentary, which records the preparation and climax of Saitopolemos's custom during Holy Week 2012, closely follows the "pack" of Saitopolemos's "To Kougi," conveying images, sounds, emotions and dilemmas surrounding one of the most discussed Easter events in Messenia. The documentary was first presented in Kalamata in April 2013, and now, twelve years later, it returns to open a public debate with memory, emotion and reflection.
