Welcome to the 9th Annual San Francisco Greek Film Festival!
Get ready to embark on a memorable journey of entertainment, inspiration and enlightenment! The 2012 San Francisco Greek Film Festival showcases 18 award winning full length feature films and shorts and includes a mix of comedy, drama, documentation and animation. All movies have English subtitles.
The 2012 San Francisco Greek Film Festival has a sprinkling of exciting offerings. New to this year’s film festival is a People’s Choice Award for both the short and feature film categories. These two awards will be determined by all of YOU -the attendees- and will be announced at the end of the week. We are excited to once again host producers from Greece who will interact and converse with the audience. A children’s program is offered on Saturday afternoon.
Our closing night will be dedicated to Thanassis Veggos, a beloved and legendary Greek actor who died last year. We are extremely delighted to show two of Veggos’ classic movies (which have been formatted with English subtitles) and present a Lifetime Achievement Award to a member of his immediate family who will be joining us from Greece.
