In 1977 a group of friends created A.K.O.E. – the Greek Homosexual Liberation Movement. The movement’s magazine – “Amfi” – and its offices at the legendary basement on Zalongou street, will become a place of refuge for the Greek LGBT community until 1990. AKOE and Amfi will be the first reference points for a community that is just beginning to gain conscience and organize. It will be a revolution for the right to exist, the right to happiness, the right to love. Its story is told for the first time.

The film AKOE/AMFI - The Story of a Revolution (*Just to Sleep on their Chest...), had its world premiere at the 25^th Thessaloniki InternationalDocumentary Festival on March 11, 2023. It was selected for the “Newcomers”International Competition section and won the Audience Award for a Greek film of over 50 minutes.
