In 1977 a group of friends created A.K.O.E. – the Greek Homosexual Liberation Movement. The movement’s magazine – “Amfi” – and its offices at the legendary basement on Zalongou street, will become a place of refuge for the Greek LGBT community until 1990. AKOE and Amfi will be the first reference points for a community that is just beginning to gain conscience and organize. It will be a revolution for the right to exist, the right to happiness, the right to love. Its story is told for the first time. The film AKOE/AMFI - The Story of a Revolution (*Just to Sleep on their Chest...), had its world premiere at the 25th Thessaloniki InternationalDocumentary Festival on March 11, 2023. It was selected for the “Newcomers”International Competition section and won the Audience Award for a Greek film of over 50 minutes.
This film is presented in Greek with English subtitles.
