Description
Summary:Abstract: the relationship between cinema and history has undoubtedly taken on a specific weight in the way of approaching and analyzing films. The events of the expedition and the Asia Minor Catastrophe have been transposed to the screen in films that illustrate various facets of Greek cinema, and they have provided the raw material for documentary films but also for fiction films. When the Greek army landed in Smyrna in 1919, a large number of journalists, photographers, operators, painters, Greeks and foreigners, found themselves in Asia Minor to follow the troops. But, at first, fiction films on the subject are rare. It will be necessary to wait until 1955 to find references to the Asia Minor Catastrophe, through the question of refugees and the restoration of democracy in a film of Nikos Koundouros, 1974 to see a historical film - by the same director- dealing with 1922, and at last, the beginnings of the 21st century to see various references to the subject in documentary or fiction films, before the Smyrna of 2021.
