Leichhardt’s Palace Norton Street Cinema
The 2022 Greek Film Festival returns to Leichhardt’s Palace Norton Street Cinema 13 to 23 October to celebrate the best of contemporary and classic Greek cinema. Thirteen narrative features, three documentaries and the Student Film Festival make up the diverse festival line-up that will transport you to exuberant Athens (Monday), explore generational history (Smyrna) and highlights ambitious, local art (The Greek Bar Jacket). This year's festival is dedicated to the 100th Anniversary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe. An event described as ‘changing the face of Modern Greece’.
“We’re thrilled to showcase another eclectic lineup that is just a small sample of the rich stories that hail from Greece” says Festival Chair, Nia Karteris. “This is not only a celebration of strong, Greek voices from around the world with a program that we know will resonate with, inspire and bring joy to Australian audiences; but also a reflection of the life changing events that shaped and altered many Greek lives.”
