On January 20, the film will open in Los Angeles at the Arclight Cinema. With the odds against a Greek film finding distribution in the USA, it is exciting to have Cinema Libre Studio bring this exceptional film to Americans. Writer/Director/Actor Christopher Papakalaitis will be in New York and L.A. for both openings. “It’s scary and exciting. It is always a big surprise and it makes you feel nice when people enjoy what you have been working on and creating,”he says.  \nWorlds Apart offers an authentic and heartfelt moviegoing experience, with its three intertwined love stories coming together in one extraordinarily moving story set in Greece today. The exceptional cast assembled from around the world includes USA Oscar winner J.K. Simmons, as well as Andrea Osvort, a leading Hungarian actress, the famous Greek actress, Maria Kavoyianni, and a young Israeli actor, Tawfeek Barhom.  \n“I’ve been extremely lucky with this movie because I have these amazing actors,” Papakalaitis says. “I actually got the idea for the film when we were doing a Q&A here in New York for What If. Somebody in the audience asked me if I had ever thought of bringing foreigners to Greece to create a story. It set me thinking. My basic idea was to combine three different stories of three generations with foreigners falling in love with Greeks. But every time  \nyou have a love story, you have to have an obstacle. So I decided the obstacle would be reality, the political/social crisis that’snot only in Greece but all over Europe.”  \nIs Worlds Apart a comedy ora tragedy?“It’s life,” he says.“I like to laugh. I like to cry. We have from the moment we are born until the end when we leave this world all the colors of life. So in this movie you laugh a lot but you cry a lot. But don’t say what happens!” He adds:“The good thing about this film is that that audiences all over the world understand the movie. They not only enjoy the movie – but it stirs their emotions. The film is bilingual because I wanted to tell the story from the Greek side and the foreign side.”  \nPapakalaitis grew up in Athens, part of an extended and close-knit family, none of them involved in film.“Even as a child I knew what I wanted to do. I was the little kid who would getup to perform. Even if they didn’t put me there, I would go. I started working as a teen actor when I was 16. When I was 18, I took my SATs and went off to Boston University. I stayed therefor a week, but I missed Greece so much and things were going so well for me there – I was living my dream – that I decided to return to Greece and go to drama school there. I continued working even when I was in school.  \n“When I was 22, I decided to write my own scripts. When I was 25, I wanted to direct. I’m 41 now, and I have been working for 25 years. I have to tell you that I have been extremely lucky with all of my projects, and with this movie.” Early onin his career, he was constantly being asked what his main goal  \nContinued on page 4  \nAP Photo/Yorgos KArAhAlis  \nGreece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, right, meets Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiadis in Athens, Friday, Dec. 30, 2016.
