MISSION
STATEMENT
The London Greek Film Festival aims to be the
international meeting point for the Greek film and video and
Greek moving image in general. The London Greek Film Festival is the
Greek Film's crossroad
between West and East that leads us to discover and explore the idea
of globalisation through a Greek glance; it aims to introduce Greek
film to the international public, but at the same time fosters a
challenge for moving image artists, directors, producers, screen
writers and actors from all over the world, to showcase anything
Greek!
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The London Greek Film Festival is a project that
promotes the kind of open creativity which demonstrated in
feature fiction films, short films, documentaries,
animation, experimental films, video art and other kinds of moving
image.
Starting on 2008 from the scratch, we are willing to achieve that and
make the London Greek Film Festival one of the cities’ greatest
celebrations of Greek culture. London Greek Film Festival is a
project developed by
CosmoCinema,
realized and administrated by London Greek Film Festival.
Founder and artistic director of the festival is the Film/Stage
Director and Writer
Christos Prossylis.
The London Greek Film Festival is annual and will provide a welcoming space to artists,
film-makers, producers, actors, practitioners, academics, technologists and art-film
lovers for discussion, education and networking. Dedicated to the
Greek film and video and moving image in general, the London Greek
Film Festival 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 London Greek Film Festival is a unique opportunity which will unite Greek
producers, filmmakers and authors from all over the world, in addition to
international artists, filmmakers and producers
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 London Greek Film Festival 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, digital technology and the web - transcending borders
and allowing art to explore life in a globalised world.
