No director left a mark to the art of theater in the 20th century more than Peter Brook, who passed away this year at the age of 97. But Brook’s spiritual adventure also expanded in cinema: five great films – from the legendary Lord of the Flies (1963) to the five-hour long epic Mahabharata (1989) – give the portrait of a great and innovative artist. The spotlight to Peter Brook is complemented by a soulful documentary-portrait, shot in 2002 by his son, also a director, Simon Brook, who will be in Thessaloniki to talk about his father and the great artistic legacy he left behind.
