The festival will start on October 6 with a wonderful special screening: The Trojan Women, directed by Michael Cacoyannis (1971).

During the festival more than 70 selected films will be presented at Westbourne Studios (242 Acklam Road, London W10 5JJ), next to the artistic neighbourhood of Portobello. Also, 20 selected short and feature film scripts will be screened online.

Film categories include feature fiction films, short fiction films, documentaries, experimental films, and video art.

The festival accepts films and screenplays by modern Greek creators from all over the world, but also by international filmmakers, producers, artists and writers whose work related to Greece.

Its aim is to become the international meeting point for modern Greek film from all around the world and promote modern Greek culture in London and in Europe.

The festival will conclude on 18th October with the “Odysseus Awards” event, at Theatro Technis in London (26 Crowndale Road, London, NW1 1TT), awarding the best films in each category, as well as film directors, writers, actors and artists.
