LA Greek Film Festival – Program

Free screenings for eleven films and one extended preview include the feature-length works Cloudy Sunday; The Queen of Rebetiko: My Sweet Canary; and Magic Men, as well as documentaries that look at the Jewish communities of Thessaloniki, Ioannina, Kastoria, Zakynthos, and Rhodes. Several films trace the experience of Jews who were sheltered by Christian Greeks during the Nazi Occupation. The majority of films will be available worldwide for online viewing throughout the entire ten days of the event.

“Los Angeles Greek Film Festival has always been present in supporting filmmakers and films that make a difference in art and in life as well. We are very happy to participate by providing the platform, expertise and infrastructure for an event that brings people from various countries together and further spreads the knowledge and history of Greece’s Jewish communities and heritage,” stated Aris Katopodis, Artistic Director of Los Angeles Greek Film Festival.
