Welcome to the fourteenth annual Greek Film Festival . The 2006 festival edition offers a gateway to the rich, complex culture of contemporary Greece through its lively and passionate cinema.
Once again the festival's lineup showcases the range and robustness of recent Greek cinema, with a wide variety of subjects including frantic farce (Woman is a... Tough Person), offbeat cityscape (A Dog's Dream), cross-cultural romance (Liubi), and sexually provocative comedy (Honey and the Pig). In addition, the series presents Unplanned, a fascinating documentary portrait of the Gypsy community in Greece.
The Festival pays tribute to director Michael Cacoyannis, who vividly brought to the screen Euripides' ancient Greek tragedies Electra, The Trojan Women and Iphigenia starring screen icon Irene Pappas.
This year's program also includes three Greek Cinema classics I Soferina, Moderna Stahtopouta and Nomos 4000 starring Greek screen idols Aliki Vougiouklaki, Alekos Alexandrakis and Zoe Laskari.

History / Background
The Greek Film Festival first started in Sydney and Melbourne in 1993 and has been run as an annual event in these two cities for the last 14 years. The Festival provides a forum for showcasing Greek Film and is one of the largest and most prestigious community film festivals in the country. The GFF has managed to attract a strong and loyal audience from within the Greek and wider community with an interest in contemporary Greek cinema.
Over the last 6 years the Greek Film Festival has enjoyed an increase in audience numbers as a result of the partnership with the Palace Cinema group and the expansion of the Greek Film Festival to Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane. This has seen the Greek Film Festival enjoy national attendance figures of over 20,000 in 2005 and emerged as one of the major annual film festivals on the Australian film festival network. The Festival aims to present audiences with the finest and most exciting productions reflecting Greek culture and exemplifies the continued development of young Greek filmmakers. It is run in Partnership with The Greek Film Centre (Athens) and Palace Cinemas Australia.
The Festival, traditionally a two to three week celebration, combines high profile premieres with independent and art house screenings as well as prestigious and much loved opening and closing events to create a truly eclectic program.
The Film Festival currently achieves strong support in Greek language media including print and radio and through the communication and marketing to the Greek community in each region. Over the last few years the festival has been successful in generating publicity, marketing and media exposure in the Greek and Mainstream media with very limited staff and volunteer resources.
