Greek filmmakers, including award-winning director Theo Angelopoulos ("Eternity and a Day"), are calling for a boycott of American movies to protest the war in Iraq.
The Union of Greek Filmmakers said Monday that the boycott was "not a condemnation of the American people or American art" but a protest against the war. The group plans to hand out leaflets promoting the action at movie theaters, many of which had hoped to boost sales after the Academy Awards.
