In November, four Greek films will make their Washington, DC debut. Our partners and the Embassy of Greece, will bring distinct examples of Greek and European Cinema. Films ranging from Greek classics to recent releases, films nominated for Oscar Awards, and those that were distinguished at international film festivals. Greek master directors and internationally acclaimed actors and actresses will be the highlight of the series.

Below you will find a brief schedule of screenings, while more detailed announcements will follow in the next few days.

Additionally, please note that due to a number of requests to reschedule our upcoming event from October 31st (Halloween), we will move “Health, Nutrition and Fitness” with Dr. Constantine Stratakis to January 2012.

Thank you all for your continuous support and I look forward to seeing you at any of our upcoming events.
