The 29th Greek Film Festival of Sydney has announced its complete line up of quality Greek films for 2024.

The Greek Film Festival, organised by the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW (GOCNSW) and proudly presented by Metaxa, will run from 15-27 October 2024 and will present 33 works in total. 

In an exciting development for this year’s edition, the Film Festival will be housed in two homes as it screens its full program of feature films at its standard home of Palace Cinemas Norton Street, as well as the new location of Palace Cinemas Moore Park.

The 13-day event will feature many Australian premieres for Greek films, a major one being Eva Nathena’s Murderess which is based on Alexandros Papadiamantis’ novel of the same name.

GREECE. Attica. Marathon. Filming of Fonissa (Murderess) by View Master Films.

The premiere will headline the schedule of screenings organised for Moore Park.

This year’s edition will also include a retrospective on the great Greek Director, Nikos Koundouros, presented in partnership with and curated by the Melbourne Cinémathèque.

Sydney audiences will get a glimpse into Koundouros, whose film The Ogre of Athens has been consistently voted the number one Greek film of all time by the Hellenic Film Critics’ Association.

Another key aspect of the calendar is the 12th Greek Student Film Festival, which will present some excellent works from youth following a successful filmmaking workshop that took place on Saturday 17 August.

The 13-day event will also feature exciting screenings with Q&A sessions, as well as other special events which will be announced soon.
