ZALONGO, THE CASTLE OF FREEDOM

An unsigned pictorial composition created by an anonymous artist, featuring a hero of the Greek Revolution, who emerges on the upper part of the poster, holding a sword in his right hand and a banner of the Revolution in his left. Right below him, a woman from Zalongo, lifeless, lies by the hero’s feet. Further below, women dance the dance of Zalongo. Above the image lies the title of the film, in red, handwritten, capital letters with a white outline: ZALONGO and just below it, on the right, the subtitle: THE CASTLE OF FREEDOM. On the poster’s left, in blue, capital letters: “Copyright Pan. Zervos S.A. Kinimatografikon Epicheiriseon”. At its bottom, the poster is signed by the firm “Pechlivanidis Printing”.
A pictorial composition created by an anonymous artist, dominated by blue and red colours highlighting the title. The hero and heroine of the Revolution feature beautiful faces with elegant characteristics. The hero’s lively body is in sharp contrast to the lifeless body of the heroine. The women dancing the dance of Zalongo are depicted in monochrome blue. Apart from the title and copyrights of the film, as well as the printing, no further information is given about the crew of the film. It is possible that the poster was accompanied by a brochure featuring additional information about the film.
