Peter Caranicas Deputy Editor Moving in parallel with the recent upsurge of film production in Greece, the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival (LAGFF), an annual showcase for new works from Greek filmmakers worldwide, plans to expand its activities on an international scale.

Lia Bozonelis, a Greek-American writer-producer and LAGFF Board Member who conceived the idea of the year-round multifaceted program, said that “Greece is experiencing a hard-won opportunity with the amount of international production pouring in.”
One of the program’s goals is to promote Greece as an international production location. “Combining insights and evaluation from working within the studio system along with our organization’s mission and resources, we can help ensure that Greece remains a center for film production and a global base for fostering new talent,” Bozonelis added. Bozonelis, LAGFF co-founder Ersi Danou, and festival director Aris Katapodis are cofounders of GGFI and serve as board members. They’ll be supported by a Council of Trustees and group of Dignitaries, comprised of organization donors and Hollywood professionals.
