The events organized by the Municipality of Patras to mark the 51st anniversary of the Polytechnic uprising continue on 9.30 pm on Thursday 14 November at “Pantheon” with the screening of the film by Nikos Antonakos “Right of the Right” starring Vasos Andronidis, Antoniou Antonis, Gerasimos Skiadaresi, Petro Fyssoun, Giorgos Ninios and Iota Festa.
The film brings to the fore the action of the secret services of the dictatorship of the colonels who use a resistance captain, who is their prisoner, in order to trap nuclei of the resistance
Conflicting ideological trajectories of people, each of whom represents something specific, are swept away by the maelstrom of History and “unfold” on the big screen, from which the mosaic of representative heroes of a certain era “parades”.

**Interview with Maria Papadopoulos, Cultural Organizer for the Municipality of Patras**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us, Maria. The 51st anniversary of the Polytechnic Uprising is a significant event this year. Can you tell us more about the activities organized by the Municipality of Patras?
**Maria:** Absolutely, thank you for having me. This year, we’re particularly focused on honoring the legacy of the Polytechnic Uprising, which began on November 14, 1973. To commemorate the anniversary, we have planned a series of events that reflect on its historical importance and resonate with current struggles for democracy and social rights.
**Editor:** I understand that one of the highlights will be a film screening. Can you share more about that?
**Maria:** Yes, we will be screening the film “Right,” directed by Nikos Antonakos, at the Pantheon Theater at 9:30 PM on November 14. The film powerfully captures the essence of the uprising and its impact on Greek society. We believe that film can be a profound medium for engaging people with history and fostering discussions about its relevance today.
**Editor:** Besides the film, are there other activities planned for the anniversary?
**Maria:** Yes, there will be various activities including discussions, art exhibitions, and performances that reflect the spirit of the uprising. We want to create a space for dialogue about its historical significance and the ongoing fight for social justice.
**Editor:** How do you think events like these can impact younger generations who may not be familiar with the uprising?
**Maria:** It’s vital for younger generations to understand the sacrifices made for our democracy. By hosting these events, we hope to inspire them to engage with history critically and consider their role in shaping the future. The legacy of the Polytechnic Uprising teaches us that public dissent and activism can bring about meaningful change.
**Editor:** Thank you, Maria, for sharing these insights. It looks like a meaningful tribute to an important moment in history.
**Maria:** Thank you for shedding light on our efforts. We hope everyone can join us to remember and reflect.
