This Saturday takes place in the British capital on 17th London Greek Film Festival.

The London Greek Film Festival started in 2008 and has a competitive nature. Presents contemporary films and screenplays by Greek directors, producers, writers and artists from around the world – including Diaspora Greeks and Greek Cypriots, regardless of subject matter.
It also accepts entries from foreign directors and producers as long as their work is somehow related to Greece or Cyprus.
From the very beginning, the Festival aimed to be the international meeting point for Greek films from all over the world. Internationally promotes modern Greek cinema and, more broadly, Greek culture in all its forms, film production in Greece and Cyprus, the positive image of Greece and Cyprus abroad, new technologies as well as academic and artistic research and innovation in cinema, theater and the arts.

The opening of the Festival will be greeted with a video message by the Secretary General of Hellenism Abroad and Public Diplomacy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ioannis Chrysoulakis.
