Greece: Secrets of the Past
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
ATHENS, Greece — Trip to ancient Greece is an improvement on the typical crusty Imax documentary.
Greece: Secrets of the Past is a cannily conceived big-screen experience.
For a host of reasons, not least of which the expense of their production and limited exhibition opportunities, films made in the big-screen Imax format are invariably crusty documentaries invested with educational values.
Rather than the typical Imax-film destination - Egyptian mummies, Mount Everest, space exploration - veteran big-screen director and producer Greg MacGillivray travels back to ancient Greece, to the volcanic eruption that buried Santorini and the golden age of Greek civilisation, in his latest venture.
