Thessaloniki, through the glass: Part 3
Photos and text by Ray Pride.

Joe Swanberg's just gotten out of a car off of a plane from the Stockholm Film Festival and he's racing to the first showing of "Hannah Takes The Stairs."

Along the waterfront of the deep sea port on Thermaikos Bay, flowing into the Aegean, sometimes you can see Olympus, or at least, the neon "Film Festival" sign lining the Provlita, or pier, where many of the festival activities take place.

The great photographer and filmmaker, William Klein, fields questions.

For 10 years a photographer named Rassias has been taking the festival's official portraits. Over the 10 days of the festival, the brick walls of Warehouse C on the Provlita (pier) are slowly but surely covered with his images of directors, actors and others.

John Sayles is telling another anecdote.
