The parade every year on 5th Avenue in Manhattan, New York is one of the most important institutions of the Greek Diaspora. It is important for the unity of the Greek Diaspora, it is important for us to remember and honor the heroic Revolution of the Greeks in 1821 and it is important for everyone to remember and learn, especially in America, how important this Revolution was, not only for the Greeks but also for all humanity.
One of the first things that comes in our mind when we think of Greece, apart from the sun and the beautiful seas, is the good quality produce of the country; the olive oil, the herbal teas, the honey, the herbs. But how can we taste and enjoy these delicious and nutritious products when not in Greece? Ms Maria Kalomenidou, a Greek visual designer, foodie and art enthusiast, made it her job to select with true “zēlos” (zeal) the finest from the best Greek artisans and bring them to America.
Occasioned by the screening of the wonderful movie “Smyrna, My Beloved” which is taking place today, Friday 29/4, at the Directors Guild Theater and on Sunday 1/5, at Museum of the Moving Image, in New York, we spoke with Mr Jimmy DeMetro, the man who for fifteen years now is working relentlessly for a dream, to make the Greek cinema known in America.
With a perfect summer feeing sunshine, warming us pleasantly, we leave Athens behind and we sail northwest to Hydra.
