The 30th Greek Film Festival of Sydney is thrilled to expand into Sydney’s west with a special collaboration with Riverside Theatres. This marks the first time in the festival’s three-decade history that it will bring its cinematic celebration to Parramatta’s vibrant and growing community.

A curated lineup of 15 films has been selected. This diverse program includes the best from the festival’s 30th anniversary retrospective, along with a great selection of current Greek productions and family-friendly films.

The Greek Film Festival promotes contemporary Greek cinema and provides a platform for Greek filmmakers to share their unique stories and perspectives. It also offers cultural initiatives through collaboration with modern Australian society and its film festivals, fostering multiculturalism in a respectful, modern, and diverse manner.
