Thessaloniki, through the glass: Part 2
More views from the Thessaloniki Film Festival via Ray Pride's camera.

A large part of the already-congested central city is turned into a maze by excavation for the new Metro.

A Thessaloniki festival patrons consulting a wall schedule near the John Cassavetes Theater.

Scattered around the central city, graven Dziga-Vertov images that look like huge cookies.

After a movie at the John Cassavetes, spectators escape into the sun and 65 degree weather to have a smoke by the sea.

Kindly crowds linger after an acting masterclass with David Straitharn and Chris Cooper.
