Head to Astoria&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/movingimage.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Museum of the Moving Image<\/a>, where the Hellenic Film Society is celebrating legendary Greek-Cypriot director Michael Cacoyannis with a four-film retrospective from October 16 through 18. Best known for the Oscar-winning Zorba the Greek, Cacoyannis was a major force in bringing Greek cinema to the world, and this is a rare chance to catch some of his classics on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p>The festivities kick off Friday with A Girl in Black (1956), a drama set on the gorgeous island of Hydra. On Saturday, catch Anthony Quinn in the iconic Zorba the Greek (1964), before Sunday&#8217;s double feature of Stella (1955), starring Melina Mercouri, and the romantic comedy Windfall in Athens (1954). All four films will screen with English subtitles, so don&#8217;t worry if your Greek is a little rusty (or nonexistent).
