An intimate portrait of the Xylouris family, Greece's leading musical clan, at a crossroads between Crete and Melbourne. Work in progress, ready at the end of 2013.
THE FILM "A FAMILY AFFAIR" a documentary by Angeliki Aristomenopoulou.
The Xylouris Family is Greece's most famous musical clan. Three generations of musicians uphold and pass on the vibrant tradition of Cretan music, performing ceaselessly to followers across the world.
This 70 minute feature documentary follows the Xylouris family for a period of two years as it travels from Crete to Melbourne and back, on a grueling concert tour and an attempt to deal with the spiraling difficulties of the musical profession.
The film captures how music is passed on from father to son to grandchildren, in a contemporary Greek-Australian family, brought together and apart by their love of music.

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP!
Anything you can do to share, promote or contribute to our making of this film. We can only tell this story with incredible global reach, with your support. We want to make a film that will transcend the Xylouris fan base and to promote this fantastically original and beautiful music to a broad international audience.
With the material shot in Australia, we will be able to work to secure broadcaster support to complete the film in early 2014.

A FAMILY AFFAIR has successfully completed a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign!
In total, the project raised £9,975 which is allowing us to continue filming with the Xylouris family this summer!

But our crowdfunding effort continues and every contribution is valuable to help us continue the film. Please contact us if you want to support us!
