About the last year's 4th London Greek Film Festival (8-15 October 2011)

The 4th annual London Greek Film Festival (LGFF) came to a close on Tuesday (15 Oct 2011) with the Odysseus Awards ceremony at the famous Westbourne Studios of west London, after nine days of showcasing the best in modern Greek film. The participation of both the creators and the audience was the most enthusiastic yet proving that the Festival has grown in reach and confidence. The expectations for next year’s event are even higher, but the results on the screen make sure that they can be met.

This year’s Festival’s highlights included the presence of Nikos Kalogeropoulos, winner of four awards for his feature film ‘Riders of Pylos’, who also entertained guests with his bouzouki and voice both at Westbourne Studios and at Mythopolis, during the Festival’s party. The audience had a chance to watch a tribute to Nikos Koundouros, with his film “Byron, ballad for a daemon” (1992) presented on the first day of the Festival, which ended with a tribute to Michael Cacoyiannis with his last film “The Cherry Orchard” (1999).

Bruno Coppola, member of the jury, presented the award for best feature film expressing his admiration for the overall quality of films submitted to the Festival. Among this year’s surprises was the not widely known documentary on the Turkish invasion of Cyprus with Melina Merkouri (1975). From the archives of the Museum of the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) it made its world premiere in film theatre.
