The Foundation of the Hellenic World inaugurated its film productions in 1997 with the documentary Miletus... A City in Four Dimensions. Using a combination of three dimensional models, dramatised scenario and shots taken in the natural surroundings of Miletus, this ancient city is restored to its former vigour.

The documentary conveys historical information through the use of dramatic dialogue: the narrator-traveller, setting of from Athens to visit Miletus, finds that the city has preserved little of its past, but, urged on by his discussions with a female figure, the personification of the ancient city, the traveller eventually rediscovers the splendours of the ancient city.

Miletus flourished from the 8th to the 6th century BC. Numbering 10,000 inhabitants, it was one of the most important centres of export trade with Tyro and Chalcedony. At the same time it developed culturally; known for its philosophers Thalis, Anaximandros and Anaxagoras. Miletus was the home town of Hippodamus, the first architect and city planner of the ancient world.

The camera focuses on important public buildings:

The three dimensional models faithfully follow the monographies supplied by the German Archaeological School.
