SCREENING | HAROLD AND MAUDE
Description :
A young rich boy named Bud Court will meet the love of his life at a funeral. Which life he desperately wants to end with failed, grotesque, suicide attempts.
In 1971, the later acclaimed director of “Shampoo” and “Be There Mr. Chance” believed so much in the mad love of a depressed young man and a demented 80-year-old woman that he captured it in one of the most subversive films of that decade.
Except that Harold and Maude was not to be just a black comedy or an anarchic love story, but a counter-conformist and ultimately refreshing paean to freedom and the joy of life.
A timeless cult movie, a mutant romance for those who despise romances, a film with the power to move even today. An unconventional, multi-layered, black comedy about the boundaries between darkness and light.

Organizers :
The gap of the old remarkable cinema club and the chronic absence of quality cinema in the city is being filled by the New Cinema Club of Kalamata, a non-profit, cultural institution.
The main purpose of the club is to undertake any initiative related to the promotion of cinema and the encouragement of local cinema.
For this purpose, the New Cinema Club of Kalamata plans to organize screenings of films representing all the trends, directors and creators of cinema. Among the immediate plans of the Club, the organization of special events that seek to promote Greek cinema and its dissemination as an art form, such as the organization of a film library, lectures, conferences and workshops, is included.
The New Cinema Club of Kalamata is already a member of the Federation of Cinema Clubs of Greece. It cooperates closely with the Municipality of Kalamata and the public benefit enterprise of the Municipality of Kalamata “Faris”, and at the same time plans and seeks cooperation with other wider movements and cultural institutions.
