In the 1950's to cater for the large number of post WW11 Greek migration to Australia, Greek films were imported (without subtitles) to be screened for a homesick prospective audience. Some city and suburban cinemas were acquired to screen these films. Apart from 35mm prints, 16mm prints were also available to be used in church and community hall screenings as well.

I have often looked for any posters produced for the Greek screenings without any success, that is until now. The following is an unknown English titled Greek film poster with the Lawson Theatre at Redfern Sydney snipe attached. The Lawson cinema screened Greek films there it would appear over many decades, where it would appear from at least the 1950's until the 1970's. The Greek films were imported by various small independent Greek distributors here in Australia.

I think Barry Peak might still be at Nova Cinema in Melbourne.

Here's an article about Chris and Barry (from 2017 though).

Looks like Barry is still involved, might be worth reaching out to out to him.

Yes Peter the idea had crossed my mind previously when you had mentioned you had thought that Barry Peak could be involved at the Nova Cinema. I will attempt to contact him shortly, but before I do that I will firstly, over the next few days include here some more information on the subject that I have just located.
