For the sixth summer running, Park Your Cinema, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC’s) series of open-air cinema projections, welcomes the public at the Great Lawn of the Stavros Niarchos Park.
This year, for the selection of films addressed to adult viewers, the SNFCC inaugurates its partnership with the Thessaloniki International Film Festival (TIFF), the country’s most prestigious film institution.
This summer, therefore, when our need to laugh is greater than ever, the TIFF presents a series of films that prove that comedy is, after all, a very serious matter.
Airplane! (1980):
Just as “Jaws” made us forever terrified of going into the water, “Airplane!” is the film that brings a smile to our faces before every flight. Ted, a deeply depressed former fighter pilot decides to fly from Los Angeles to Chicago to win back his great love, flight attendant Elaine. But when a severe case of in-flight food poisoning affects passengers, pilots and flight attendants alike, putting everyone in danger, Ted is forced to take over and land the plane to save its passengers’ lives. A disaster movie parody, “Airplane!” is still one of the most irreverent, hilarious, and sacrilegious comedies of all time.
Director, Screenplay: David and Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, Starring: Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges Duration: 88’
