special screening of the short documentary L'éclairage revient / Waves of Light The project L'éclairage revient [the Light Returns] filmed at the historic PPC’s Steam-Electric Power Plant in Aliveri is part of the "Waves of Light" online festival carried out by the Greek National Opera in collaboration with the Public Power Corporation under the artistic curation of Giorgos Koumendakis The filmmakers were inspired by the notes they found at the plant crafting a soundscape where Arthur Rimbaud's poetry interacts with the reflections of those who once worked at the Steam-Electric Power Plant of Aliveri PPC intertwines the effort to turn to green energy with culture uniting and highlighting Greece's cultural identity Its commitment to innovation and cultural values strengthens its social role and the prospect of sustainable development for all collaborator of the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival and Publications Coordinator: "Welcome to a very special screening of the 27th edition of the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival not only because it combines cinema with music but also because it presents a hybrid work created within the framework of the online festival "Waves of Light" Today's screening is supported by PPC and we will have the opportunity to enjoy the film The Light Returns We are very happy to have here with us the creators Panagiotis Andrianos Michalis Kalogerakis and Pantelis Kalogerakis" she said and gave the floor to Pantelis Kalogerakis "When we visited the inactive steam-electric power plant in Aliveri we experienced an amazing and very vivid situation," he stated it was impossible not to notice all the objects people had left there when leaving From ashtrays and journals to notebooks – we are talking We used pieces of these workers' notes in the film Every manuscript was written in beautiful calligraphy while at the same time these people were responsible for the well functioning of this huge plant providing electric power to all of us," he noted this was the reason why Arthur Rimbaud's poems were finally incorporated into the film: "Rimbaud was a poet during the Industrial Revolution and as a prophet – as he called himself – he serves as a capstone to the industrial image we are trying to give to the film It was a great opportunity for us to collaborate and get inspired We would like to thank the Greek National Opera and the artistic director George Koumendakis as well as PPC for their sponsorship and support," he added a live concert by Michalis and Pantelis Kalogerakis followed with selections from their albums (Prosopiko The fire that erupted on Monday afternoon on Evia Island continued to blaze through the night prompting additional evacuations as firefighters worked tirelessly to control the flames During the night and early Tuesday morning new evacuation alerts were issued via 112 messages to residents in Klimaki the blaze is advancing southward between the settlements of Petries Approximately 205 firefighters with 56 vehicles are on the ground five aircraft and three helicopters were deployed to assist in the firefighting efforts Fire service spokesperson Vasilis Vathrakogiannis told Kathimerini that the fire in the southeastern part of Evia “Properties and settlements are indeed at risk While I wouldn’t say it is the most dangerous fire of the summer so far it is certainly one of the most severe,” he said noting that a vehicle’s tires were burned and a firefighter sustained minor burns on his fingers Vathrakogiannis emphasized that the causes of the fire are still under investigation and conditions are expected to become more challenging in the coming days We need to exercise great caution,” he urged Evia experienced devastating forest fires in 2021 which destroyed about 50,000 hectares of forest approximately one-third of its total forest cover “Forest fires are a reality for the entire country and they are perhaps even more frequent on Evia.” “Our area is prone to burning due to its winds and specific vegetation types.” He noted that the fire currently has two main active fronts with the most dangerous one in the Koskina area “the situation could become even more perilous.” An earthquake of 4.2 magnitude on the Richter scale occurred on Thursday afternoon in Evia and was strongly felt in Attica According to the automatic solution of the Geodynamic Institute the epicenter was located 2 kilometers north of Aliveri The seismic tremor lasted for a while; however there have been no reports of material damages so far and it is still too early to say whether we should be concerned The initial estimate is that it occurred in Aliveri with a magnitude of 4.2 but we need to wait for the accurate magnitude and depth to be determined,” explained Dr director of research at the Geodynamic Institute Follow en.protothema.gr on Google News and be the first to know all the news See all the latest News from Greece and
