everynight invites thirteen international artists from Algeria, France/Lebanon, Germany, India, Iran/Canada, Palestine, Greece and the USA to present moving-image works drawing on experienced and imagined dreams. Participating artists include Shaheen Ahmed, Eleni Bagaki, Shadi Habib Allah, Sky Hopinka, Katerina Komianou, Simon Lässig, Manolis D. Lemos, Bahar Noorizadeh, Valentin Noujaïm, Louiza Ntourou, Lydia Ourahmane, Leslie Thornton, Eleni Tomadaki.

Amid overlapping catastrophes, the present seems incomprehensible, reduced to fragments - to a stream of "content" endlessly competing for our attention. Using the dream as a lens, everynight explores how the sleeping mind offers a means to reclaim reality. Anchored in the ever-evolving urban landscapes of Athens, the project traces an intimate cartography of the city and the world, in which Athens serves as both subject and backdrop.

Dreams unfold as portals, merging places and times into one another: Filopappou Hill opens onto the outskirts of Delhi; a short-let flat with views of the Acropolis gives way to ruins of demolished houses from eras long passed; a meeting and a farewell play out as public fountains, a statue under the moon, and the Athenian sunset all shot in black and white on Super 8 turn otherworldly. Voyeuristic glimpses into neighbouring apartments on Marni Street intertwine with a Hollywood melodrama and domestic sounds; images of violent street marches dissolve into church candles, that in turn dissolve into winter landscapes in which birds fly above naked trees, while other birds cross the clear blue sky and morph into bomb-dropping fighter jets. 

Humpback whales on the brink of extinction try to reach us with their songs. Recollections of a shattering adolescent moment condense beauty and suffering into hallucinatory images, while other memories and feelings continually transform, resisting fixed forms as they appear through abstract hand drawn animation.

Elsewhere, echoes of collapsed worlds reverberate through the industrial ruins of Manchester; scattered and reassembled landscapes of once-indigenous lands surface as poetic reflections, memorial places of colonial plunder. Childhood Cold War dreams are followed by visions of a future in which the credit-banking system appears as a time-travelling machine. 

Starting from 2 December, and for two weeks, everynight will take place during the regular programmes at Cine Athenée, Diana Cinema, Mikrokosmos and Studio New Star Art Cinema. Inserted among the trailers before the night’s feature films, each work will gently disrupt the routine of the movie-going experience, opening up space for unexpected encounters.

From 15 to 16 December, these works will be shown together at Exarcheia’s derelict cinema Alphaville; closed since 2008, Alphaville opens for 48 hours to host a loose sequence of moving-image works, live music, a site-responsive intervention, and poetry readings. Musician Viki Steiri performs a live set for cello and electronics. Poet and writer Dimitra Ioannou, artists Jack McConville, Rallou Panagiotou, and E Scourti, among others, read texts drawn from their dreams as a way to make sense of Athens.

Chrysanthi Koumianaki’s intervention explores the interplay between private and public identities as shaped by the shifting realities of gentrified urban spaces, speaking to the remnants of the cinema’s past lives. 

everynight concludes in January 2026 with Stanley Schtinter’s Last Movies. Presented as a lecture–screening–performance at the Greek Film Archive, Last Movies sequences a century of Western cinema through the final films viewed by key cultural figures of the twentieth century before dying – Kurt Cobain, Bette Davis, Franz Kafka and Pier Paolo Pasolini, among others – inviting audiences to “see what those who see no more last saw.”

Curated by Panos Fourtoulakis and developed in collaboration with the artist-run space 3 137, everynight is realised with the financial support and under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. It is supported by the 2025 ARTWORKS Grants programme, which is funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and other individual donors, as well as the support of NEON Organization for Culture and Development. The programme at the derelict cinema Alphaville is realised with the support of Onassis AiR.
