The Foundation of the Hellenic World (FHW) utilizes the cinematic documentary as a means for disseminating Greek culture developed both within and beyond national borders. It creates productions that combine artistic imagery with historical documentation. An important role is also played by modern technology, with the use of three-dimensional digital representations of monuments that have not survived, a project of the corresponding department of FHW.
At the «Hellenic Cosmos» Cultural Centre, the following cinematic productions of the Foundation are shown by appointment:
