About the Film Saint Paisios
The film follows the life of Saint Paisios from his birth in Farasa, Cappadocia, and his family’s displacement after the Treaty of Lausanne, to his childhood in Konitsa, where his grandmother and mother instilled in him deep faith and love for others. It depicts his military service in 1945 as a radio operator and his final departure to Mount Athos in March 1953, with stops at Esphigmenou Monastery and Philotheou Monastery, where he becomes a monk and takes the name Paisios. This is a cinematic retelling presented on the big screen for the first time, including scenes not previously shown on television.

The film is directed by Stamos Tsamis, with a screenplay by Giorgos Tsiakkas. The cast includes Prokopis Agathokleous, Nikitas Tsakiroglou, Christos Loulis, Dimitris Xanthopoulos, Smaragda Smyrnaiou, Giannis Stankoglou, Giorgos Armenis, Christina Pavlidou, Antonis Katsaris, Paisios Exarchos, Dimitris Himellos, Drosos Skotis, Despina Gatzio, Riniou Kyriazi, and Kostas Apostolakis.
