When a small theater called Sputnik decided to show the film “Terror 2000″, a low-budget anti-Nazi satire, a group of [black bloc] activists sprayed the projectionist with teargas, and used butyric acid to destroy a copy of the film, which they considered “sexist and racist.” Afterward, they threatened to return and “destroy everything” if the movie was ever screened again.

We will not allow it, "said director Manousos Manousakis. Today a protest took place in central Athens but its participants did not stop the traffic on Stadiou Street. About 20 members of the cinema guild in Greece gathered outside the smoke-blackened entrance of the Attikon cinema, which flared up during the Sunday night paranoia. Despite the hopelessness aired by the fiery tongues that enveloped the building, the damage is after all not quite so disastrous and the cinema can reopen. The view outside is daunting. Empty holes instead of windows and black debris inside. The sidewalk is still soaked from the water that fire fighters rallied to save the historic building. The smell of burning is still in the air. Two fire engines are still on the street in front of the cinema because the fire could revive. "We are here to protest against the burning of this historic monument - the Attikon cinema. Our protest is symbolic; it is directed against all damage that has been done to Athens. The Attikon cinema is one of the oldest cinemas in the city. The building, which was built in 1880 and is part of the cultural heritage and a beauty in the otherwise ugly centre of Athens, was destroyed. We are protesting against the uncontrolled actions of these fascists - no matter to which political extremes they belong, who want to determine our daily life. We will not let it happen," said the famous director Manousos Manousakis for GRReporter.
