Greek Film Festival makes its anticipated return to Canberra

·

The Greek Festival of Sydney, in collaboration with the Hellenic Club of Canberra, will present a three-day screening of Greek films as part of the Greek Film Festival Australia.

After a noticeable three-year absence, the Greek Community of Canberra will have the opportunity to attend three screenings of the most important Greek films included in the 29th Greek Film Festival line up.

The hilarious comedy Hear Who’s Talking by Thodoris Niarchos will open the screenings, with the Opening Night event to take place on Friday 25 October at the Palace Electric Cinema. The screenings will continue with the multi-award-winning film Murderess by Eva Nathena on Saturday 26 October, while the curtain will close with the film What If by Christoforos Papakaliatis.

“The Greek Festival of Sydney in partnership with the Hellenic Club of Canberra will present the Greek Film Festival for 2024. Showcasing some of the best Greek film offerings in the world, the festival provides an immense cultural and artistic experience for its audience. We congratulate the organisers and look forward to a continued relationship with the festival for many years to come,” President of the Hellenic Club, Andrew Satsias, said.

Chair of the Greek Festival and the Greek Film Festival of Sydney, Nia Karteris, said, “The aim of the Greek Festival of Sydney is to promote and support Greek culture through initiatives beyond the boundaries of NSW, and we are particularly proud that this year we have been able to bring Greek cinema to the Greek Community of Canberra through such an important collaboration with the Hellenic Club.”

The President of the Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales (GOCNSW), Harry Danalis, elaborated on the importance of cooperation between the Greek organisations of Australia saying, “At a time when our communities are changing, ageing and therefore shrinking, it is very important to join forces to strengthen our cultural identity through important and meaningful events such as the Greek Film Festival.”

The Greek Film Festival of Canberra will be presented at the Palace Electric Cinema from 25 to 27 October 2024.
