Celebrating its 10th anniversary with the theme "E-motions," the Balkans Beyond Borders festival of short films is taking place at the Greek Film Archive and, apart from screenings, also features workshops, cultural walks, photographic and interactive events and open discussions.

The Greek Film Archive's Lais open-air cinema is hosting a tribute to movies shot in famous urban settings, showing 13 films shot in 11 cities. The program begins at 8.30 p.m. on Thursday with Wim Wenders' 1995 "Lisbon Story." Subsequent screenings will take place at 8.30 and 10.30 p.m.

The Greek Film Archive and the Athens Festival present Cinema and the City, a real treat for cinephiles in which three restored silent films about Athens and Berlin will be screened at the archive's Lais open-air cinema this weekend.
