Welcome to the fourth annual Greek Film Festival. Greek Cinema Now 2006 offers a gateway to the rich, complex culture of contemporary Greece through its lively and passionate cinema.
Once again the festival's seven-film lineup showcases the range and robustness of recent Greek cinema, with a wide variety of subjects including frantic farce (Woman is a... Tough Person), offbeat cityscape (A Dog's Dream), cross-cultural romance (Alexandria, Liubi), gripping hostage drama (Hostage), and sexually provocative comedy (Honey and the Pig). In addition, the series presents Buzz, a fascinating documentary portrait of Greek American screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides.
Enjoy the festival.
Harry Karahalios, Director
