- A Cinematic Journey That Endures Beyond Time. Cinema is, by its nature, an ephemeral art. Films usually remain in theaters for a few weeks before giving way to new releases, new stories, new images. Rarely does a film transcend this cycle of consumption and remain alive far beyond its expected duration. And yet, Christos N. Karakasis' Take a Trip, defying all conventions of our era, continues to be screened for 100 consecutive weeks at Studio Cinema in Athens-a record unprecedented in Greece and exceptionally rare worldwide.
