ELIAS OF THE 16TH PRECINCT - dir. Nikos Zapatinas

Alekos Sakellarios’ much-loved film from 1959, based on a play by Sakellarios and Giannakopoulous, gets a working over for a whole new generation, proving good humour never dates.

Starring the much loved Greek TV actor Petros Filippidis (Λάκης ο γλυκούληs), Elias of the 16th Precinct follows three friends – Elias, Thomas and Vangelis – who face considerable financial hurdles with their debts rivalling the size of Everest. They decide the only solution is to snatch money from Vangelis’ boss, Labros ; a cafeteria owner, pawnbroker and fence. While Thomas will attempt the breaking and entering, Elias will be disguised as a police officer – for security reasons, of course. Hilarity ensues as this comedy of errors sends their plan spiralling off in a totally different direction.
