The Greek Orthodox Community of Saint George - Brisbane in partnership with Palace Centro Cinemas is proud to present the 5th Greek Film Festival. The festival will run between Thursday 19th October and Sunday 22nd October at the Palace Centro Cinemas - James Street, Fortitude Valley.

Opening night will feature the 2005 Block Buster "Sirens in the Aegean" directed by Nikos Perakis. The film is a sequel to the director's original movie "Loafing and Camouflage" released in 1984. This farcical tale revolves around the impounding of a Turkish yacht by Greek sailors after its captain attempts to put a group of illegal immigrants ashore on a small Greek island.

Following the screening, an after- party will be held at the Greek Club and Convention Centre - Edmondstone Street, South Brisbane. Guests are invited back to the Club where they will be treated to a light supper, Greek music by DJ Kossi, The Hellenic Dancers and more….

The Festival will highlight a selection of the best in contemporary, and classic Greek Cinema produced in Greece recently along with some classics including "Electra", winner of the 1962 Cannes Film Festival Adaptation Award.

This years program includes: Sirens of the Aegean, Chariton's Choir, The Canary Yellow Bicycle, The Heart of the Beast, Fading Light, Electra, and Liubi.

We would like to thank our partners Palace Cinemas and The Greek Film Centre, national sponsors and particularly our local sponsors for their generous support. We invite you to indulge in what is to be a rich cultural experience and hope you enjoy the selection.
