Starring Melbourne’s own Alex Dimitriades and directed by a New Yorker also of Greek heritage, Bang Bang Wedding is a fast-paced, light-hearted and stylish road-trip set against a spectacular backdrop in Crete. Ilias (Alex Dimitriades) and Marina (Faye Xila) exchange vows without a hitch, but when they set off for the reception, a small yet important typo on the invitation ensures whatever can go wrong will go wrong. A collision causes amnesia for one guest, with only a veterinarian available for treatment, while others become embroiled in a little illegal activity and gatecrash a party of a very different nature.

“It's an invitation to taste a modern/tradition Greek wedding, starting at the altar and evolving into a crazy ride on the way to the reception
