About Us
MISSION
STATEMENT
The London Greek Film Festival is the crossroad
between West and East that leads you to discover and explore the idea
of globalisation through a Hellenic glance; it aims to introduce Greek
film to the international public, but at the same time fosters a
challenge for moving image artists from all over the world to showcase anything
Greek! The London Greek Film Festival aims to be the international
meeting point for the Greek moving image.
THE
PEOPLE
We are open-minded, enthusiastic, creative people
wanting to make a difference in the cultural scene of London. Starting
from scratch, we are willing to achieve that and make the London Greek
Film Festival one of the cities’ greatest celebrations of culture
through moving image. London Greek Film Festival is a
project developed by CosmoCinema Ltd, and realized by London Greek Film Festival Ltd. Founder and artistic
director of the festival is the Film/Stage Director
Christos Prossylis.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The London Greek Film Festival is a project that
promotes the kind of open creativity which integrates the speed of
information and digital culture as demonstrated in
feature fiction films, short films, documentaries,
animation, student movies and video art and other kinds of moving
image.
The London Greek Film Festival will provide a welcoming space to artists,
film-makers, practitioners, academics, technologists and art-film
lovers for discussion, education and networking. Dedicated to the
moving image, the LGFF invites the spectator
to an extravagant experience. Whether you are a cultural explorer, an
amateur student, a renowned film director, or anything in between,
the London Greek Film Festival will surely inspire you.
The LGFF is a unique opportunity which will unite Greek
producers and authors from all over the world, in addition to artists
that exhibit Greek historical or cultural themes and individuals whose
films make use of the Greek language, or whose works are produced in
the country itself. The LGFF is a new concept in that it invites work
from international artists of Greek heritage as well as from others
who have an interest in Greece and Greek related themes. The festival
concept is as flexible as new media and the web - transcending borders
and allowing art to explore life in a globalised world.
