VOICED : Greeces last film poster painter soldiers on

Vassilis Dimitrio, an 80-year-old artist, has been painting cinema posters for over 65 years. He has a unique approach, focusing on subjects he loves, like Clint Eastwood. During the 60s, he painted up to 10 posters a week, but now only one cinema in Athens continues this tradition. Vassilis values the intimacy of painting over modern plastic billboards. Despite the decline in demand due to multiplexes and large printers, he remains passionate about cinema and fears the art will vanish when he stops.
