After a remarkable presence in A list festivals around the world, award winning Greek film Wasted Youth is presented in the UK for the very first time on 7 May 2015 at Deptford Cinema, London. Wasted Youth is presented as part of Cinemania London, a special season of films for young people (18-25) organised by Film Hub London, BFI and the Picturehouse Group.

Summer in Athens. Heatwave blasts the city. A teenage skateboarder sets out for a normal day with his friends. A middle-aged man struggles with raising his family, a job he dislikes and an impending nervous breakdown. This is a portrait of Athens. A film about a city and a society in crisis. Inspired by true events.

“... an energetic and exciting drama that is a breath of fresh Athenian air as it blends skateboard slackers with old-fashioned domestic drama and comes up with a fascinating portrait of ‘wasted youth’ of all ages in the modern-day Greek capital”- Mark Adams, Screen International

“Papadimitropoulos and Vogel have created an undeniably memorable depiction of the havoc wreaked by financial collapse. Its characters are rudderless, adrift in an urban landscape of disarray, and the eventual outcome seems like the only one imaginable. In final analysis, the film’s definition of “wasted” is not what one might think.”.- The film stage.com
