About this event

Dir. Myrsini Aristidou. 2026, 102 mins. Greece. DCP. In Greek with English subtitles. With Maria Petrova, Christos Passalis, Jenny Sallo. It’s summer, and plucky 11-year-old Iris is running wild through the streets with her friend Danae when she discovers that her estranged father, Aris, is back in town for his father’s funeral. Determined to know him, Iris tracks him down to a dilapidated shipyard, where he’s been keeping to himself. What begins as a stubborn attempt to reconnect slowly unfolds into a fragile, imperfect, yet poignant bond. Hold Onto Me won the Sundance 2026 Audience Award in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition and is the first-ever Cyprus submission for the Best International Feature Oscar. Christos Passalis won the 2026 New York Greek Film Expo Award for Best Performance by an Actor. Tickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth / $7 MoMI members.
