Following a series of presentations in various cinemas in Athens last December, everynight concludes at the Greek Film Archive.

Based on the dream experiences of contemporary artists from Greece and around the world, the program continues at the Greek Film Archive with a final screening on Monday, 19 January (7–9 p.m.), which will be preceded by a presentation of the project by curator Panos Fourtoulakis, as part of the 2025 ARTWORKS Grants talk series.

everynight concludes with the lecture-screening-performance Last Movies by British artist and filmmaker Stanley Schtinter, presented in two parts on Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd January 2026. 

Last Movies is an alternative account of the first century of cinema, according to the final films watched by a constellation of its most notable stars shortly before (or at the time of) their deaths.

Stretching almost from the inception of the film medium with Franz Kafka watching Charlie Chaplin's The Kid, to the present day with Jean-Luc Godard watching his own Phony Wars, Last Movies parasitises the available history of film, expands upon, approves and disproves it; recasting and clarifying the column inches of cinema’s mythological hearsay as reliable witness to the contingencies that ultimately order all of our lives.

Last Movies is a celebration of life via the medium that imitates it, and an invitation for an audience to see what those who no longer see last saw.

Stanley Schtinter has been described as ‘the last avant-garde’ by British writer and filmmaker, Iain Sinclair. Projects include Schneewittchen (2025), starring Julie Christie and Toby Jones, which recently premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam, the British Film Institute and Anthology Film Archives; Last Movies (2023–), a book published by Tenement Press and screening series the subject of a five-month residency at London's ICA; The Lock-In (2022–) at the Barbican Centre and Oberhausen Short Film Festival; Important Books (or, Manifestos Read by Children) (2021-2022) at Whitechapel Gallery. He is also the founder and director of record label purge.xxx and the Liberated Film Club.

Note: Films and excerpts will be presented with Greek subtitles. The artist’s lecture-performance will be in English.

everynight is curated by Panos Fourtoulakis and 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 closed Alphaville cinema was generously made available by Fournos Theatre and Fournos Lab. The programme at Alphaville was realised with the support of Onassis AiR.
