Yorgos Lanthimos's request to shoot footage for his film Bugonia at the Acropolis has been denied by Greece's culture ministry. The ministry cited the proposed scenes as incompatible with the site's symbolisms and values, despite initially welcoming the request and waiving the standard filming fee. The scenes involved staging 70 dead bodies at key locations, which raised concerns of insufficient reverence. Although alternatives were suggested, the ministry held off on a final decision until further information was provided by the film’s producers.
