MUMBAI: Slaves In Their Bonds has been selected as Greece‘s official submission for the foreign language Academy Award. The film is based on the novel of the same name by classical writer Constantinos Theotokis.

Produced by Nikos Sekeris, the film offers a fresco of the social and political changes in rural Greece during the 20th Century. It was selected after it won six State Cinema

Awards last November including that of best director.

Earlier this year the film enjoyed a good commercial run drawing 40,000 plus admissions.

The film also represents Greece in competition at the upcoming Cairo International Film Festival.
