Searching for a possible family connection to the poet Andreas Laskaratos, Olga Laskaratou uncovers the history of the island where she spent her childhood summers. Kefalonia — largely rebuilt after the 1953 earthquakes that levelled its buildings entirely — retains almost no trace of the people who once lived there and wrote one of the significant chapters of Greek history: the Unification of the Ionian Islands with Greece. Against this historical backdrop, and under British rule, Andreas Laskaratos published The Mysteries of Kefalonia — a work denouncing the representatives of the church and politics, and the position of women at the time. Both Laskaratos and his book were excommunicated, forcing him to live on the margins with his large family. The questions raised in that book return as questions today. Has anything changed?

How do we understand the cult film, and which films defined the term in the Greek context? Is cult something subjective? Objective? Or is it constructed by a fanatical group of believers? How is this blind devotion to a film cultivated, and what are the conditions for a film to be loved unconditionally? 'Worship' explores the cult phenomenon primarily through the Greek films Tsiou by Makis Papadimitratos, Matchbox by Yiannis Oikonomidis, Let the Women Wait by Stavros Tsiolis, and the Vietnam episode from Pantelis Voulgaris' All Roads Lead, gathering testimonies from filmmakers, crew members, journalists and artists — completing an enthusiastic journey through the presence of this misunderstood term in Greece.

A film about radio today. Neither elegy nor wishful thinking — an analytical look at how the dominance of the playlist model radically changed the character of the medium, and with it the role of the radio producer and their relationship with listeners. Personalities from across the spectrum of Greek music speak on the subject.

WWF Greece, in close collaboration with WWF Germany, WWF Bulgaria and WWF Poland, created the 'Just Transition for Eastern and Southern Europe' programme with the support of the European Climate Initiative and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment. The initiative aims to identify concrete job-creation alternatives in coal-dependent economies in Greece, Bulgaria and Poland, mobilise the necessary funding tools, and build a living network of stakeholders — workers, local authorities, civil society, universities — to embed Just Transition as a core component of national and European policy. Within this programme, The Switch was produced to highlight the alternatives available to Western Macedonia, the energy heartland of Greece.
