"Flowers of Rethymnon" film

""Flowers of Rethymnon" film doco.

A pleasant afternoon was had by attendees who journeyed to The Shrine on Sunday 30 August to view the documentary film "Flowers of Rethymnon".
The film was shown as part of the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Crete and partnered by The Shrine and the Pancretan Assn of Melbourne, the Battle of Crete & Greek Campaign Commemorative Council & Cretan Brotherhood Melbourne.
Approx. 150 people attended the viewing with the film makers also attending to provide an overview of the film making and to answer audience questions even though the film was made 40 years ago.
It was also also a good opportunity for catching up with new and old members of our Association (10 members represented us) and to further support and strengthen our relationships with the Cretan and Greek communities. A pleasant afternoon tea followed with traditional Cretan cookies provided.
It was also another opportunity to again view the "Spartans & ANZACs" exhibition (my 9th visit so far!).
The Association will keep you advised of upcoming special interest events etc and also recommend using The Shrine website to stay informed.
