Wim Wenders: The Great Retrospective Screenings, masterclass, talk and 3D film installation

Onassis Stegi, Athens

Onassis Stegi presents a three-day tribute to Wim Wenders, the most emblematic European director of his generation, from 1970 to today, along with a conversation with Afroditi Panagiotakou on the Main Stage.

Wim Wenders films the world as if seeing it for the first time. From „Paris, Texas“ to „Perfect Days“, the universe of this great German filmmaker does not move at the pace of everyday life but leaves time for wandering. His characters do not speak much; they observe the small and the immense around them. His films allow audiences to breathe, and this tribute to his life and work reminds us that the essence of living is often found in silences, glances, and journeys. Following the paths of wanderers searching for themselves, from Hamburg to Hollywood, from harsh realities to the enchanting landscapes of dreams, Wenders arrives in his uniquely singular way on the Main Stage of the Onassis Stegi.
