Following the screening of Frederick Wiseman’s new masterpiece Ex Libris: The New York Public Library in the 20th Documentary Film Festival, the audience will get the chance to participate in an interactive book crossing event at the Warehouse C premises, by exchanging and discussing their favorite books. Ioannis Trohopoulos, the coordinator of the organization “Athens 2018 World Book Capital” under the umbrella of the Municipality of Athens and UNESCO’s distinction will be the festival’s special guest. Ioannis Trohopoulos will share his insights into the preparations of the largest book event that has been organized in Greece.
