Attenberg

If the extent of your Greek cinematic knowledge is limited to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Mamma Mia you'd do well to widen your horizons at the MFA. They're unrolling the Festival Of Films From Greece an 11-day series of films hailing from one of the world's most conflicted nations. The festival opens tonight with Attenberg, Greece's submission for Best Foreign Film for the 2012 Academy Awards, and highlights include Pelican's Watch, a documentary about Europe's oldest vineyard, on the island of Santorini, and the farmers struggling to keep it up and running. The festival is at the Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston | Thursday, December 1 @ 8 pm | $11; $9 students, seniors | mfa.org/programs/film.
