Online Festival

The festival aims to create an international meeting point for:

Greek producers, film/moving image artists / directors and writers from all over the world (Greek-Cypriot, and Greek origin artists from Greek Diaspora included) – there is no specific topic that the film should be based... or International producers, film/moving image artists / directors and writers that exhibit Greek historical or cultural themes or they use the Greek language, or whose works are produced in the country itself. Also: international producers and film/moving image artists / directors and writers who have an interest in Greece, Greek heritage and contemporary Greek related themes.

The London Greek Film Festival will provide a welcoming space to artists, film-makers, producers, practitioners, academics, technologists and art-film lovers for discussion, workshops and networking with a diverse body of talent.
