The Greek Film Festival Returns to Canberra.

28 August 2025

The Greek Festival of Sydney, under the auspices of the Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales, is proud to collaborate with the Hellenic Club of Canberra to present the 2025 Greek Film Festival, a celebration of the best in contemporary Greek cinema.

After a successful return in 2024, the Greek Community of Canberra will once again have the opportunity to attend a four-day screening of five compelling films from the 30th Greek Film Festival line-up. The program features an epic opening night with Kapetan Mihalis, directed by Kostas Haralambous; the iconic film Brides by Pantelis Voulgaris; the much-anticipated biopic film Stelios; the family-favourite film Santa's Snow Candy; and the powerful box office heat Roza of Smyrna.

Mr Steve Kartsonas, President of the Hellenic Club of Canberra, expressed his enthusiasm for the continued partnership: “The Hellenic Club of Canberra is proud to once again partner with the Greek Festival of Sydney in presenting the 2025 Greek Film Festival. This highly regarded cultural event continues to showcase the richness and creativity of Greek cinema, offering audiences a unique lens into Hellenic culture. We value our longstanding relationship with the festival organisers, and we congratulate them on their continued success. We look forward to supporting this remarkable celebration of Greek storytelling for many years to come."

Mrs Nia Karteris, Chair of the Greek Festival and Greek Film Festival of Sydney, commented on the importance of the festival's reach: "The aim of the Greek Festival of Sydney is to promote and support Greek Culture through initiatives beyond the boundaries of New South Wales, and we are particularly proud that we have once again been able to bring Greek Cinema to the Greek Community of Canberra through such an important collaboration with the Hellenic Club."

Mr Harry Danalis, President of the Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales, elaborated on the significance of the cooperation between Greek organisations in Australia, saying: "At a time when our Communities are changing, ageing and therefore shrinking, it is very important to join forces to strengthen our cultural identity through important and meaningful cultural events such as the Greek Film Festival."

The Greek Film Festival of Canberra will be presented at the Palace Electric Cinema from 30 October to 2 November 2025.
