Acropolis Museum Abandons Censorship Of Costa-Gavras

Oscar-winning filmmaker Costa-Gavras last week asked the Acropolis Museum “to withdraw his credit from an animated short that the museum” had edited “after the Greek Orthodox Church objected to what it saw as a depiction of Christian priests destroying parts of the ancient temple. But on Tuesday, the Acropolis Museum said it had reversed its decision to cut the film after days of picketing and the threat of a lawsuit.”
