The 2023 Greek film Festival opens on 19 October at the Astor Theatre, Palace Cinema Como and Palace Balwyn Cinema with the multi award-winning feature film by Asimina Proedrou, "Behind the Haystacks”.

From the 19 October until the 29 October an exceptional lineup of films that capture the essence of Greek cinema will be showcased:

17 features, 7 documentaries, including a tribute to the acclaimed and incomparable Irene Papas and the first Greek digital animation feature film, Karagiozis: The movie.

Also, let’s not forget, the return of the 11^th Greek Student Film Festival.

Finally, this year marks the 80th anniversary of a sombre journey that began in the heart of Thessaloniki and led to the haunting grounds of Auschwitz.

This year the Greek Film Festival organizes a tribute, with 3 documentaries and 1 feature film, honouring the memory of the Jewish community of Thessaloniki, once home to one of the largest Sephardic Jewish communities in the world.

This tribute will shed light to one of the darkest pages in world history. The unhealed universal trauma act as a reminder and warning for the future.

This year's festival promises to transport you to the heart of Greek culture, history, and creativity, all while celebrating the rich and diverse world of Greek cinema!

Let the countdown to the 2023 Greek Film Festival begin! We can't wait to share this extraordinary cinematic experience with you.

The Greek Film Festival is presented in Victoria by the Greek Community of Melbourne playing on the Palace Cinemas group’s screens.
