Acropolis Now was an Australian sitcom set in a Greek cafe in Melbourne of the same name that ran for 63 episodes from 1989 to 1992 on the Seven Network. It was created by Nick Giannopoulos, George Kapiniaris and Simon Palomares, who also starred in the series. They were already quite well known for their comedy stage show, Wogs out of Work. The title is a play on the film Apocalypse Now. Each episode was 30 minutes in length and filmed in front of a live audience.

Jim's father asks him to run the family business, the Acropolis café, when he suddenly leaves Australia to return to his homeland Greece. The series centres around the activities of the cafe staff. Greek Jim Stephanidis, is the immature owner and his best friend, Spaniard Ricky Martinez is the sensible manager. Memo is the traditional Greek waiter, Liz is the liberated Australian waitress. Skip is the naïve new cook from the bush and Manolis is the stubborn cook from the old cafe. 'Hilarity' prevails from the clash of cultures and beliefs.

Coustas later reprised the role for several TV specials and series including Effie, Just Quietly, an SBS comedy / interview show, and Greeks on the Roof, a short-lived Greek-Australian version of the British talk show The Kumars at No. 42.

Macropolis is the story of two toys discarded from a factory production line. Coming to life, they rebel and chase the factory delivery van in the hope of rejoining their friends. Lost in the unfamiliar, urban big city, they are overwhelmed by the challenge ahead. By reinterpreting the world that now surrounds them, through their unique perspectives, they begin to play with littered everyday objects to find their way back.

Necropolis follows the construction of massive underground burial tunnels excavated deep under the biggest Jewish cemetery in Jerusalem. This ambitious construction site will serve as background to our cinematic journey; we’ll observe sorrowful mourners, Palestinian builders, and Ultra-Orthodox morticians roaming around the spectacular monument. The lively collage they create together shows the eternal struggle of Jerusalem between the high and the low, progress and tradition, manual labour, and sacred work. This is a film about a city of contrasts, about death and the life surrounding it.

In the film Acropolis (2001/2004), she puts forth a subversive, feminist view of the famous monument. She follows a procedure that is the reverse of observation, putting together existing Super 8 footage with porn and archival material, and by identifying the Parthenon with the female body, she negotiates anew our received notions about Greekness and femininity.

In the city of São Paulo, the routine of gravedigger apprentice Deodato changes when a new working girl arrives at the cemetery. Together, they must re-register the abandoned tombs, but strange events make the apprentice wonder about the consequences of messing with the dead.

Moyra Davey's video My Necropolis pairs footage of cemeteries in Paris with attempts at interpreting an enigmatic line from a letter that Walter Benjamin wrote to his friend Gershom Scholem in 1931. Benjamin, living in very difficult financial circumstances, mentions a clock outside his window which increasingly becomes a luxury that “it [was] difficult to do without.”

Timo Salonen and Stig Blomqvist finished first and second in the Acropolis Rally to substantiate their similar positions in the world championship after six rounds. This video faithfully records those successes. But more than that, it captures the drama of two very different manufacturers slugging it out on the gravel roads of Greece. Salonen in the diminutive Peugeot pursued constantly by Blomqvist in the almighty Audi Quattro. See the heart-stopping, all-action style as the world’s finest crews slide through the endless corners, throwing up huge clods of earth and raising mushrooms of dust. Some of the terrain’s horrendous rockery is also depicted with car after car bumping frighteningly close to disaster. But through it all, Salonen kept steady, ignoring faster times set by his rival. Consistency brought the 205 Turbo 16 home ahead of the Quattro, and the myth that early Acropolis leaders always faded was finally laid to rest.

In Round 6 of the 1991 World Rally Championship Martini Lancia entered new Delta Integrales for Miki Biasion and Juha Kankkunen. Mitsubishi's new powerful Galant VR-4s were in the skilled hands of Timo Salonen and Kenneth Eriksson. Other top drivers participating included reigning Champion Carlos Sainz (Toyota Celica GTFour), Didier Auriol (Lancia Delta Integrale 16v), Hannu Mikkola (Mazda 323 GTX). Armin Schwartz (Toyota Celica GT-Four) and David Llewellin (Nissan Sunny GTi-R). From the green light at Athens it was an all-stops-out effort throughout the savagely demanding event. Curiously enough the event proved to be a 'Tortoise and the Hare' event. Who was the tortoise? Find out with this outstanding rally video!
