Greek cinema

The female presence, in front and behind the camera, at this year’s 13th Los Angeles Greek Film Festival (LAGFF) is remarkable. And it is a spontaneous development more than a conscious decision by Artistic Director Aris Katopodis or the programming team – it just… happened.

The Los Angeles Greek Film Festival (LAGFF) represents the newest of Greek cinema and follows a new generation of filmmakers who think out of the box. Among the consequences of the crisis Greece has suffered for the last eight years, there are a few positive ones including a reinvigoration of the arts.
