LAGFF invitation FINAL 2

It is our privilege to bring to our community an in-person screening of Greece’s Oscar entries which will compete for nominations next month. Asimina Proedrou’s top Iris Award-winner BEHIND THE HAYSTACKS (Πίσω από τις Θημωνιές) and Thanasis Neofotistos’ short AIR HOSTESS – 737. In the last fifteen years, Greek filmmakers have come forth in leaps and bounds within the world of cinema, and we are proud to support them and promote their works right in the creative capital of the world! LAGFF has been supporting all Greek Oscar-nominated films and has committed to doing so now and in the future. We wish Asimina and Thanasis good luck! 

 

Don’t miss a unique opportunity to see BEHIND THE HAYSTACKS and AIR HOSTESS -737 on Sunday, December 10, 5:30 pm, at the Gianopulos Family Theater at St. Sophia’s Huffington Center. Director Asimina Proedrou will be there to introduce the film and mingle with the guests at a light reception following the screening. The screening of BEHIND THE HAYSTACKS will be preceded by the multi-award-winner AIR HOSTESS – 737 by Thanasis Neofotistos, which is also running for an Oscar in the short film category. We thank the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles for their support as well as Fr. Gary Kyriacou and Dr. Anna Yallourakis for hosting us. Screening and parking are free. 

 

In addition to Greece’s Oscar entries, Yorgos Lanthimos’ POOR THINGS and Alexander Payne’s THE HOLDOVERS are on the sure path of the highest nominations. We will be watching!
