CHS Greece Workshop Series: Applications Open
We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the second workshop in this year’s series, “Cracking the Code: Interpreting Life and Death.” The workshop will be led by two former CHS Fellows, Helene Simoni (University of Patras) and Olga-Gioulika Christakopoulou (Ephorate of Antiquities of Achaia).

Following the success of the workshop on “Realism in Cinema,” coordinated by Professor Pavlos Kontos of the University of Patras this past June, participants built upon the ideas explored and dived deeper into the compelling topics, creating a collective essay of reviews on the film The Return by Andrey Zvyagintsev, which is now available on our website in Greek.
