Several hundred guests gathered to witness the opening night screening of the award-winning film “ANIMAL,” written and directed by Sofia Exarchou.

The LAGFF has screened over 520 films and hosted over 500 filmmakers in its 17-year existence, aiming to support Hellenic films.

Following the screening, the LAGFF director Aristotle Katopodis moderated a captivating Q&A session with Exarchou and the film’s star, Flomaria Papadaki.

The LAGFF showcased 80+ films (over 9 days in theaters and one week online), including feature films, shorts, documentaries, animation films, and retrospectives, all highlighting the depth of the Greek film industry today.
