"Smyrna: the Destruction of a Cosmopolitan City 1900-1922" (87 minutes) focuses on the cosmopolitan character of the city and how it was destroyed in an era of nationalist conflict. It seeks to present a balanced narrative that honors the discipline of history as well as all the victims of the city's destruction. It premiered at the Benaki Museum in Athens in January 2012 and in New York City in October 2012 as part of the Greek Film Festival and has been screened in Athens, Thessaloniki, London, Paris, and many American campuses. 
 
This screening has been made possible thanks to a grant from the STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION.
